Mullens overrated?

[dnbman]

Timothy Varner, 48 Minutes Of Hell: Byron Mullens is an emerging player, but only in the sense that he is emerging from complete and utter anonymity. As the season progresses, I suspect Mullens will regress back to his career averages.

I thought I might find BJ on the list of most improved, and then caught this later in the article.

The guy's career averages are 4 points and 2 rebounds in about 5 minutes a game. Does this guy really see Mullens not getting at least double or triple that?

Obviously never watched him play.

How can he be over-rated? He was never rated to begin with. Ha

We need to start this guy. Silas needs a dose of reality, because Mullens has been our best C so far.

Even when his shot isn't falling, this guy hustles his ass off. Love his attitude and drive.

He is also our best free throw shooter somehow.

WOW , I can't belive how stupid some of thease reportors are. IT'S inpossable,; hes scored more this season than he did in two seasons at OKC . Its no other player averaging 2 and a half times his average in the league.
They could at least say the kid has played decent?

[Plowright]

He will average more than that for sure. But i take his point, there has only been so much hype as we had NO expectation of him at all

Who the hell is Timothy Varner?

Exactly.

I'm there. If it was up to me Mully would start and Smack would get as much backup minutes as he could handle. We're aren't winning squat anyway and it's not like Gana has any future here.

But has there been that much hype? Enough to warrant a blogger/columnist/journalist/clown to say that he's overrated?

I know we're excited about him as fans because we don't have a whole lot else to be excited about. I'm just surprised.
