Sources: Jared Sullinger red flagged
By Chad Ford
ESPN.com

Ohio State Buckeyes big man Jared Sullinger has been medically red flagged by NBA doctors, multiple league sources told ESPN.com on Monday.

Sullinger's agent, David Falk, when reached via phone by ESPN.com said that he was not in a position to comment on the story.

Sullinger, who is projected to be a lottery pick in the 2012 NBA draft, underwent a series of medical tests at the NBA draft combine a week ago. According to sources, the doctors who looked at Sullinger were concerned with Sullinger's back.

A number of NBA team doctors have reviewed the information from the NBA and have told their front office staff that Sullinger's back issues could shorten his NBA career and some have advised their teams not to draft him in the first round.

Sullinger missed two games for Ohio State in early December with back spasms.

ESPN.com currently has Sullinger slated to go No. 10 in Mock Draft 7.0. However, such news could cause Sullinger to free fall in next week's draft.

In 2009, Pittsburgh's DeJuan Blair was also red flagged by the NBA when medical tests at the NBA combine revealed he didn't have ACL's in either knee. At the time Blair was projected as a late lottery pick. He slid all the way out of the first round.

Maybe Knicks could trade up and grab him in late 1st or early 2nd round to be our DeJuan Blair...His game isn't predicated on athleticism anyways, and has good touch and nice post game.

Jared Sullinger was red flagged by so called draft experts then I'd love to be the team that wreaks the benefits by drafting him

I doubt he falls past 20, but if he does no way Boston passes him up with 21 and 22 in the first round.

If his situation/injury is like Blair's, where he can play right away, contribute at a high level but maybe only play for 5-7 years as opposed to 7-10 I agree that he would be a great guy to target.

stop it!...lol...knicks are not going to trade up and sullinger will be a lottery pick...lol...

sometimes i feel like us knicks fans are so desperate

who ever we draft is NOT gonna help us next yr

we have a decent team...lets just hope for good health

HAVE FAITH!

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

David Lee - Immediate Impact
Fields - Immediate Impact
Shump - Immediate Impact

As I also think one draft pick won't make or break a team, look at OKC - Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, Harden - all draft picks. Draft picks are not desperation, they are the hope that keeps the NBA revitalized every year.

I don't know... This is the guy who Jorts owned when Kentucky played Ohio State. The same guy who got the ball slammed off his chest after one play that Jorts objected to. It might be a sign.
