Why is Byron Mullins not starting?

He might be soft for his size, but he did have double digit boards last night and has shown improvement rebounding and defending on the block. An improvement though doesn't mean he is effective defensively..yet.

I could see him starting as soon as reggie williams returns. Williams will provide a scoring boost along with Kemba off the bench making Mullens' scoring need off the bench less startling. Mullens is the only one on the bench that can score consistently. That is the only reason I think he is not starting yet.

If you start Mullens and move DJ White to the bench it provides the second unit with a hustler, rebounder, and consistent inside contributor.

Eventually I see a starting line-up like this:

PG - DJ Augustin

SG - Gerald Henderson

SF - Corey Maggatte

PF - Boris Diaw OR Tyrus Thomas

C - Byron Mullens

6 - SG - Reggie Williams

7 - PF - DJ White OR Tyrus Thomas OR Boris Diaw

8 - PG - Kemba Walker

10 - SF - Derek Brown

11 - PF - Bismack Biyombo

12 - SG - Matt Carroll

*If Bismack Biyombo can continue to show improvement on the inside, he might replace Diop at C for reserve minutes. I am counting down the days until Diop pulls up lame with a in-grown toe nail, dislocated butt cheek, or stress fracture in left ear lobe.

Seriously though, if Mullens continues to improve he is the center of the future for the 'Cats.

If anything this season is a chance to see young guys, Kemba, Biz, Mullens, Henderson, hell the entire roster, continue to develop.

I also think that Paul is setting up this season to transition into his Son taking over as the head coach next year. IMO.

Sorry, went off on some non-mullens tangents. lol
