I actually like Cushing as a player, but I don't think he's durable enough to spend a first round pick on. I could easily see him winning defensive rookie of the year for the right team. At the same time, I could easily see him out of the league before the end of his rookie contract with injury issues. Health isn't just luck, it's a skill.
