    Default Byron Mullens

    He's been up and down lately offensively (pretty much couldn't buy a bucket last night)...but his defense has steadily improved. Anyone catch the double block he had vs NOLA? I'm also seeing him battle more for boards, he's setting better screens and guys aren't totally blowing by him when he's out towards the perimeter.

    That's the kind of improvement I want to see more than anything. If he can keep that up and then fit into whatever future offensive system we have then he'll end up being a helluva get for a 2nd rounder.

    I've been high on the Mully horse for awhile now. I've always thought he's had good potential but was just burred under alot of talent in OKC. Hopefully he keeps improving and he could be a really solid player.

    seems like he has made some strides in his rebounding and defense. I would like to see him score close to the basket a little more and lean on that when his jumper isn't falling.

    He's a cool guy, too. Down to earth and normal. He gets it.

    Really hard to root against a guy like Byron. Keep in mind, he just turned 23. I think he's got a lot of potential, but a long way to go as well.

    No doubt this was one heck of a get for Charlotte. He'll get good playing time on the team for a few years as long as he sticks with Charlotte. Hope he likes it here.

    A steal for a second rounder. Solid backup at the 4 and 5 spot

    He has a little bit...I don't think he was exploding to the basket like he has a few times for dunks when we first got him. Definitely agree tho I'd like him more into the paint and less outside the 3 line.

    Course my stance is I don't expect much of anything offensively right now because we aren't even running (or it's not getting thru to the players) a real offense.

    Main thing is he's showing effort to improve.

    His game is more (pardon the correlation) like Dirk Nowitzki than a traditional C. Silas made that comment, and I think it's true. He's more of a face up type of guy than a banger. I dont think he'll ever be a rebounder / defensive presence as a C, but he'd be a pretty good offensive option if he keeps working hard.

    His defense is straight out of a middle school game
