If Jared Sullinger was lacking any kind of motivation going into this season, a visit from a former number one overall pick would have certainly set him straight.
Sullinger capped off an injury riddled season with the Boston Celtics with incredible amounts of criticism regarding his conditioning. Sullinger had been a top player for the Celtics and it reached a point where his roster spot was no longer secure.
The Celtics acquired two new power forwards and have Jordan Mickey waiting to blow up putting a tremendous amount of pressure on Sullinger. A lot of different things could have impacted Sullingers mind set this offseason but one event may have ensured that he stayed on track.
