Mullens is a bum.

No thanks to this guy.

Mullens could be great if you can get him focused.. I just question whether NBA coaches can be patient enough with him.

Heard this last night. It could be good. Mullens has a pretty upside but he could easily be a bust. Plus you can never trust a White American basketball player.

Mullens is god awful.

I always wondered what anyone saw in him, hes just tall i saw no NBA skillset whatsoever

This bothers me in every spot

I mean do these guys not get paid enough? Why cant they be focused when they are getting paid millions of dollars playing what 80% of the world would call a hobby

I understand there is alot of spotlight on them but getting paid unreal amounts for something that most people play for fun should keep you focused

Sports athlets annoy me

What's with the Pistons making promises? And having those become public? First with Gordan and now Mullens? They need to keep their secrets hidden better.

And i think Mullens can be a decent back-up yet i don't see starter mterial in him.

I'm not a huge fan of Mullens either but he quite clearly DOES have an NBA skillset. Good hands, good footwork in the post, ability to run the floor. It's the NBA toughness and physicality that he doesn't have.

How can you even say that when he barely played? Before the season started he was said to challange Griffin for the #1 spot. He never got any playing time at Ohio State. All fo you guys are just goign on his stats when you dont realize that he only got liek 15 mins a game.

Maybe ppl are turned off by the fact that he could only log 15 mins a game in college..

Thad Matta has had 3 consecutive five star 7 footers, all of which were projected to be lottery picks when they first got to college, and the first two (Oden and Koufus) started the minute they were able to.

There might be a reason why he only got 15 mins a game.

Whats the reason then? He should have started. He was the #1 recruited player by every single recruiting website.

And Darko Milicic was drafted in the top 3 of an NBA draft... is this going somewhere?

Im sure he looked good on a website aswell
