Former Ohio State star Jared Sullinger saw his NBA Draft stock drop even more yesterday when his medical reports were flagged by several teams over evidence that he died nearly three months ago.

"I just wouldn't feel comfortable taking him in the first round at this point," said a front office source from a lottery team. "Also, my condolences go out to his loved ones. He had so much potential."

Sullinger has refuted his passing.

"I read that teams fear I might be dead since I haven't been seen since the Final Four," said Sullinger. "That's just because my season ended and I'm not on TV all the time anymore. I am still very much alive," he added, either talking or making word-like noises due to gas escaping his bloated, decaying body through his mouth.
