Around this time next year, people were stocking BJ Mullens as the next Dwight Howard. They were marveled by his athleticism and high-flying finishes. One thing that separated him from Howard was his potential to be finesse on the post and not rely on athleticism. Most of shots throughout his Basketball career was molded by reverse layups, literally rim moving put-backs, Air Jordan symbolized dunks, and the most notable Patrick O'Bryant hook shot. Obviously, once he arrived at O.U. and didn't finished the season with a bang, people were ready to jump off the bandwagon of BJ Mullens. Then, they was speculation that Thad Matta was to blame in regard to Mullens' inconsistencies. He was out-shined by Dallas Lauderdale, which in many cases was deliberately designed. That wasn't suppose to happen, it was times when I watched Mullens play and he was managing, then for no apparent reason Matta would take him out the game. It was games where I just refused to watch more because I knew Mullens wasn't coming back into the game. I understood Matta wanted to compete very badly that next year, because he had no great recruitment's coming in until 2010. I'm just saying, Jerry Reinsdorf has been quoted in saying, "obviously what we lack is a inside presence, that's the biggest thing we're missing and somehow we have to find it." Now, we all know Jerry don't know much about the NBA; he just wants to make that "Montre-moi l'argent". Surprisingly, I have to agree with him on that need. BJ Mullens might take 3 years to develop at most but you just don't omit the fact he could possibly save Noah and Thomas jobs. He don't have to come in right away and post 16 points per game. Fans had the same concern about Rose, they felt Beasley would help us win right away and Rose would be a project, meaning we would have to rebuild. Ending on this note, I would love to have a guy on the Bulls roster next year that's a big man with Mullens skill-set. He has shot over 70% from Field Goal in every league, meaning, Highschool and College. He led the Big Ten in Field Goal Percentage with legit minutes as the touted Freshman. I can go on and on, point is, if you pass on him Gar, don't be surprise if it comes back to bite you in the rear in!
