Pistons Make Mullens Promise at 15????

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

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.

There you go.

Superstar players don't play 15m/gm in college when they are able bodied. He wasn't ready for Ohio State basketball, he certainly isn't ready for college.

That, and he has the "dumb glaze" that I can see from a mile away.

He'll make his money, get his family out of poverty (Mullens was homeless for quite some time as a kid, IIRC and his mother still is), and the sink into obscurity. He is an athletic big man, which is why teams will like the kid, but honestly, I haven't seen anything from him worthy of being a first rounder, nevermind Top 15. DeAndre Jordan deserved it more and I thought he was bum-like.

I go to Ohio State, I went to every home game...BJ is a flat out bum. No one at Ohio State liked him. He has no skills. All he can do is dunk. His hands are worse than Kwame Brown. His "jump shot" is so bad he should never do it. His D is not that great either he gets into foul trouble and doesn't rotate over EVER. Being a Cavs fan, I would LOVE if the Pistons drafted him. Waste of a pick.

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

A lot of those ratings are based on potential... and Mullens has the potential to live up to that #1 hype, but he didn't show the committment neccessary to do so.
