Latest Mock Draft I Saw

I hope he's not talking about me.

Like I've been saying for most of the year - Mullens is probably my least favorite player on the Bobcats ever. I hate him more than DJ White and Vlad.

I understand people were frustrated with the number of 3s Mullens was taking; with his defence being too soft for a Big etc.

But this:

Like I've been saying for most of the year - Mullens is probably my least favorite player on the Bobcats ever. I hate him more than DJ White and Vlad.

... I just don't get.

He cost us a second round pick. He can score 20+ points on any given night. He has improved his D to an almost acceptable level. He has significantly improved his rebounding, to the point were he was the most prolific on this team. He has shown the beginnings on a decent post game ... etc.

I would be stunned if he wasn't following orders with jacking up lots of 3s, otherwise he would have been taken off the floor ... so be equally pissed with Dunlap. I understand people are worried about us overpaying to keep him ... so be made at Cho IF that happens.

His game needs to continue to improve, everyone will be in full agree on this, but to have the above level of dislike for a player (so you like Tyrus more than him?) who was 11.6/7.8 (albeit extremely inefficiently) and 0.9 blocks & steals per game is just crazy to me.

Guys look at it like this. He's playing better than any of us thought when we picked him up.

There is absolutely no way you can make that statement with anything other than prejudice.


Miami just won a title with Shane Battier's corpse and Mario Chalmers starting for them and the Lakers won multiple titles with Derek Fisher playing PG.


The best teams in the league start guys like Ronnie Brewer, Jason Kidd's corpse, Kendrick Perkins, Kirk Hinrich and Richard Hamilton's corpses, Lance Stephenson, Willie Green, Festus Ezeli, Mario Chalmers, and Udonis Haslem's corpse.

First of all, Shane Battier ten years after he retires would still be the best shooter on our team! lol. And the teams you mentioned are starting those guys because of cap reasons. Not because they don't wanna replace them. Chicago's been running around looking for a 2 guard like their ass was on fire.
I don't dislike Mullens or Biyombo. I think they're both good young players that can serve a valuable role on our team. But they're not gonna be guys we build the team around. If we were able to get Bennett/Milsap @ the 4 or Jefferson/Pekovic @ the 5 this off season i think either one of those guys would be going to the bench so fast that their head would spin. That's all i'm saying.

Now you're moving the goal posts

For everyone saying Mully "only" cost us a 2nd round pick, that pick is most likely going to be the #1 pick in the second round...

I think we could get a talent just as good as Mully even in this weak draft with the #1 pick.

If we wind up with two picks, I can see taking a wing like Shabazz Muhammad first and taking a big second. Still, given that wing players are not our weakness and that we're pretty thin around the basket, I think it makes more sense to go big twice. If we only get the one pick, I hope it's a center - either Noel or Len. JMHO

You THINK we can get a talent in the second round. I KNOW we have a talent in Mully on the roster. In 7 second round picks we've gotten one player that seems decent and thats Jeff Taylor. A bird in the hand is worth two in the second round... or something like that.

Bottom line, there isn't any feasible way a Bobcat fan should dislike Mullens. Just the same ol' Bobcat fan grass is always greener mentality.

[JGib23]

I don't want to get in a bash fest on 1 of our players. I would love to see Mully become a great player and he's young and still has time to grow and become a really good player. My biggest hiccup is that he's a 7 footer and shoots 37% from the floor. It drives me ape-shit!

I hope that we are able to re-sign him for a reasonable contract and he blossoms and turns that shooting % into 45... ( which is still bad for a big guy but, he shoots so many 3's that 45% would be equal to 50+%)

My fear is we resign him for around $8M per and that's too much imo.

[westbrook08]

With the new CBA kicking in, and the fact that Mullens hasn't even started a full season, he won't command anything more than the mid-level exception at the most right now in my opinion.
