He doesn't touch the ball enough in Connecticut's offense to drive these recent big numbers like we're seeing with Brown, Acuff, Flemings, Wagler, and even Philon - all of which are primary ball-handlers. The last I checked, all five of the Huskies starters were scoring double digits, and Mullins was not their top scoring player. I can't see him leap-frogging any player currently in the top 10.
It does appear that Brown, Wagler, and now Acuff are pretty secure in the top 10. Besides being in the vicinity of the Mavs picks, they also fill a playmaking need for the Mavericks, so one of those players could easily be targets at draft time. Ament will likely be there, but I think he would have to look awful good to the Mavs in workouts to take the # 7 or 8 spot.
I was just giving my personal opinions on Mullins, I think he’s going to be really good. As you said, he doesn’t get nearly the opportunities the other guys do to show off how good he is. I could see a team taking a chance on him at 8, or maybe he falls to the 12-14 range. The draft is going to be very interesting after pick 4 assuming the first 4 are all gone as we believe they will be.
