Byron Mullens

His defense is straight out of a middle school game

...but it's getting better. No way in hell would he have gotten those consecutive blocks at the beginning of the season.

Enduring this season you have to grasp whatever dull spot of sunshine eeking thru that you can DY!

If we do get rid of Silas maybe we should keep the big guy coach.

Consecutive blocks on Jason Smith can't erase him getting owned by Jason Maxiell over and over and over and over and over and over....not to mention Bosh and countless others over the year but still....Jason Maxiell

Overall, he has made strides during the season in taking the ball to the hoop and rebounding and I don't think he's a lost cause on defense.

That was really bad; a part of that tho was he & Smack just haven't learned to work together. Thing is he would regularly get owned by Maxiell & Smith when we first acquired him.

Little steps...

I've never said nor insinuated that Mully is a a future starter and he's making progress to that end. Best case I see him ultimately as a 7th man type.

This. He will improve with more pt. I could see him being our best backup big man for a while

This and the 7th man talk from spectre are how we need to be thinking now a days. No one on this team is guaranteed a spot in the future, but there are some very good pieces on this roster and we can't discard them because of a mediocre season on a bad team without much structure. Henderson doesn't have to be a super star SG, and Mully doesn't have to be an All Star power forward. We are building a team here, and even 3rd options and bench players need to be respected. If we keep judging and wishing away decent players because they aren't super stars we will be in perpetual rebuilding mode.

Mully is a great piece, whos young and cheap. Hes actually perfect for us. If you are using the OKC roster as a guide to rebuilding... Mully is our younger, cheaper Nick Collison.

According to Bonnell, Mullens will start at center tonight over Bismack. No word on whether or not Bis will play or not, Bonncell says he's "worn down". I don't blame him, he's played a lot this year.

I would imagine it's going to be:

Kemba
Hendo
Brown
White
Mullens
