An NBA team didn't offer Jared Sullinger a contract this past offseason, so the former Ohio State forward signed a two-month, $300,000 deal with the Shenzhen Leopards of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Two games in, Sullinger is proving to be a prudent offseason acquisition:
Jared Sullinger made his debut in China in 114-96 loss to Guangdong:

Jared Sullinger in his 2nd game in China (W 117-105):

46 points
25 rebounds
7 assists
2PT: 15/28
3PT: 3/7

If Sullinger can keep the pace (43½ points, 17½ rebounds, and four assists a game) — and stay healthy — an NBA team could come calling. The Leopards are next in action Nov. 3 against the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
