Jared Sullinger, 6’8, Power Forward, Columbus Northland, 2010
Committed to Ohio State

Jared Sullinger (#3 Rivals, #2 Scout, #1 ESPN) picked up 2 fouls within the first 2 minutes of his matchup with Jeremy Tyler, relegating him to the bench for the remainder of the first half. From the minute the second half started he got the best of Tyler however, scoring 21 points while being defended by his heralded counterpart the entire time.

Initially Sullinger was bothered by Tyler’s length and athleticism, having a few shots rejected early on. He then made an adjustment and used his body to shield off his more athletic foe, allowing him to finish with relative ease around the rim with a flurry of post moves. Though still on the heavy side, Sullinger looked more explosive than we last observed him, throwing down three powerful dunks in traffic.

The most glaring improvement in Sullinger’s game since we last covered him is certainly the progression of his perimeter skills. It was a common occurrence to see Sullinger draw Tyler out to the perimeter and easily beat him off of the dribble with one of his creative moves off of the dribble. It’s not too often that you see a bulky power forward like Sullinger put the ball between his legs three or four times in a row before crossing it over and getting to the rim or finishing with a soft floater, much less against an athlete of Tyler’s caliber. The big man also showed off an effortless jumper from the three point line with good fluidity. Given that he is an undersized post, the advancement of his skills facing the basket leave more optimism for his long term potential.

Just a quick update.......Sullinger is averaging 19.9 ppg and 13.5 rpg, shooting 65.4% from the field for Northland (11-0).......not to bad considering most of the season he has not played much in the second half.......
