It seems like there is more controversy stirring up in Ohio State, and this time NOT from the football team.
One of there star performers on the highly talented basketball team, 2-time all american Jared Sullinger is not invited to the NBA Draft June 28.
Sullinger was told by some recruiters that he would not be drafted in the top-15 so he should not go to the NBA Draft. Ultimately Sullinger decided to watch it from a restaurant in Ohio.
Sullinger played two outstanding seasons with the Buckeyes and led them both times to the NCAA Tournament. In his career he averaged just about 31 minutes per game, in a 40 minute game, 53 percent field goal shooting, 32.5 percent three point field goals, between 5-7 free throw attempts per game making 73.6 percent of them.
As for his triple-double categories he averaged 17.3 points per game with 9.7 rebounds with an assist and steal each game. He also only averaged 1 foul per game with is really good in college.
His stats became better in his sophomore season in every category except in rebounds where he dropped a little but he doubled his block total to make up for it.
The Buckeyes won the Big Ten regular season titles and the 2011 Big Ten Tournament title. They finished 2nd in the Big Ten Title in 2012 losing 64-68 to Michigan State.
The Buckeyes made the Sweet-16 both seasons he was with them and advanced all the way to the Final Four this year.
This NBA Draft seems to have the makings of another Kentucky draft with many of their freshman entering. Anthony Davis is almost a guarantee to go to New Orleans with the the first pick.
