IMO Mullens will be a big body in the paint with more athleticism than twigs, and thats a good thing on both sides of the ball.

Honestly, there are maybe five centers in all of college basketball with the Athleticism of Samuels. It will be extremely odd for Mullens to match up with players like that at center. Most of the time, Mullens will be stronger, bigger, and likely even more athletic than his opposing center.
I mean, coming out below Samuels is hardly something to be down about.

Keep in mind that it was reported the day prior to the Mullens/Samuels match-up that Samuels matched-up with Yancey Gates and by all reports Gates came out on top. |

Mullens is more than a big body...
He has great hands for a big man to grap rebounds and passes out of the air...
He has good post moves around the basket, he is working on the jumper and from most reports it is developing nicely...
Also he is going to be a stopper on defense...
If all you are expecting is a big body with more athleticism than Twig you are going to be drastically suprised...Guys like Mullens don't come around all the time... |

Actually I have been axiously awaiting the on court arrival of Mr. Mullens with anticipation and some excitement. I have always thought that he will be a good one. Matta was on his main "gettem" roll right about then so I expect he wasn't picking any bench sitters just for the heck of it.
After all I expect any Buckeye to be a world setter

my point was that most likely mullens at theosu wouldnt guard samuels. he might be a center but hes not a 5. the ville doesnt play a typical 1 through 5. the matchup would likely go to the 4. you wont see many teams going to lineups like that. remember the memphis game? two things stick out to me, cook and odens play. sure oden had foul trouble but the man averaged just shy of a point a minute...
