C Byron 'B.J.' Mullens (Levanga Hokkaido Sapporo - Japan)

Wasn't it an automatic technical foul to begin the game anytime a player used to dunk in warmups? cbf40 may be able to help me here, maybe it was a WBL rule?

Not that I ever agreed with the rule, what BJ was doing is more of a slam dunk contest than just your "dunk" in warmups. Dude is impressive.

I think the rule is only in effect if the two teams are in the OHSAA and I believe that was against a team from New York so the rule would not come into the equation.

Bucks21 hit the nail on the head...

Usually in warm ups he acts like he is about to dunk it and lays in, much like LBJ used to do when he was in high school...

Mullens had another big game not as big as before but he was in the high 20's or 30's in terms of points...Another lopsided win by Winchester...

One and done

Many freshman this year are making a major impact in the NCAA, but ? as we know ? many of them will probably be one-and-done players. Which recruits from the 2008 year do you think will be one-and-done and which ones will have a chance to be a program-changer over the years?
? Matt from Marietta

The top nine prospects in the Rivals150 will likely have the opportunity to be first-round picks in the 2009 draft. And I say by the 2009 draft since it is almost certain that John Riek will enter the draft this year as an age-eligible post-grad player. Here is a rundown on the other eight prospects:
Greg Monroe? The talent is there, but is the fire there? It is tough enough to put up numbers in Georgetown's system.
Demar DeRozan? Probably one of the safer bets to be one and done since it is a sure thing that he can be a big scorer in the NBA. The questions revolve around the other aspects of his game.
Jrue Holiday? No need to convince us that he is the best and most complete perimeter player in this class, but will he get the chance in a potentially loaded UCLA backcourt to to convince the NBA exectives?
B.J. Mullens? A 7-footer who can do the things Mullens can do should go extremely high in the draft ? even if he doesn't have a dominant freshman year.

I've seen B.J. at church the past two weeks. I asked the youth director if he has convinced B.J. to attend our winter youth retreat. :)

(of course, the playoffs conflict with that, but it's all about priorities)
