Bucks GM John Hammond Likes B.J. Mullens: Don't You Do It, John!
Remember the classic fight scene in "An Officer and a Gentleman" between Mayo (Richard Gere) and Foley (Lou Gossett Jr.)? After Foley yells "You're Out!", Mayo responds with a guttural (and unforgettable) yelp of "Don't you do it!"
There are now 22 days until the NBA Draft and I just read that Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammonds is enamored with 19-year old Ohio State center B.J. Mullens. John: for the love of God, DON'T YOU DO IT! Unless Hammonds is looking for another white stiff to join last year's first round pick, Joe Alexander, on the end of the bench there is absolutely no reason to even consider drafting Mullens.
With the 10th pick in the draft, Hammonds has three options and three options only: 1) trade up to get flashy point guard Ricky Rubio 2) select rugged power forward Jordan Hill if he happens to fall or 3) pick DeJuan Blair who is destined to become the next Paul Milsap. If anything happens other than one of those three scenarios then the Milwaukee Bucks are officially D-E-A-D to me. I will no longer be a fan.
If Mullens can gain some weight, in about five years he will have a ceiling of Chris Kaman . However, it's more likely that he'll be an NBA journeyman and at best become a rich man's Jim McIlvaine or Jake Voskuhl. The Bucks simply can't afford another lottery disaster and B.J. has bust written all over him. Just look at that picture...

Evidently, your readers think less of him than I do. Looks like more than half think Mullens will be out of the league in 3 years!
I don't care if he's 7'0" and was a dominant high school player. The Bucks SHOULD NOT DRAFT him under any circumstances.
