BJ Mullens is a beast

[GreatLakeState]

From Prepspotlight.com, which has comared him to Amare Stoudmire in
the past ...

BJ Mullens 7-1 sr. C Ohio Basketball Club - It's pretty ridiculous to watch
a 7-footer get the ball on the wing, put the ball on the floor and execute
a flawless step-through drive to the rim. That's what Mullens can do and
he looks more like a 6-6 wing when doing it. Mullens has amazing agility
and coordination, not to mention a nice scorer's touch inside. He uses
either hand on his drives and finishes inside. He oftentimes posterizes
defenders in his wake. Defensively his height alone bothers many
prospects but his quickness and agility really makes him tough to deal
with. Once he fills out a little more, Mullens will be a real force. His
commitment to Ohio State as a 6-10 freshman went relatively unnoticed
nationally but once again Thad Matta, who was smiling at Mullens'
dynamic performance against the Ohio Gators on Saturday, looks like a
genius. While Mullens isn't Greg Oden, there's a reason he's a Top 15
player and PrepSpotlight.com's No. 1 center in the country. Kid is big
time and he's a lock for the McDonald's All-American game.

From Draft Express:

B.J. Mullens might have the most upside of any of the players present in
New Orleans. Standing 7-1, he has an NBA caliber body, great hands, a
freakishly explosive vertical leap, a sweet jump-shot, and is able to dunk
the ball with either hand. What? Where do we sign? Not so quick, though
...since there is certainly more than meets the eye here.

Mullens still has quite a ways to go before his production on the court is
able to match his considerable upside. He has a tendency to take
possessions off and disappear, on the defensive end especially, but also
on offense when things aren't going so well. Too often we'd catch
Mullens sprinting up the floor while a shot is going up in the airâ€â€￾trying
to cherry pick his way to a flashy above the rim dunkâ€â€￾rather than do
what a 7-footer is supposed to do and box out for a rebound. His team's
defensive rebounding suffered in the process, but we did get a chance to
see him show off his ups quite a bit.

Once he figures it out, we're surely talking about a top prospect. Mullens
runs the floor incredibly well (especially when cherry-picking), catches
anything thrown his way, and uses both hands fairly well. He also
dropped off a few very nice bounce passes to cutters slashing towards the
rim. He even shows nice flashes of potential with his footwork in the post.
Nothing consistent, but we did see a glimpse of a gorgeous jump-hook, a
complicated drop-step move, a strong left-handed put-back, and of
course some ridiculous finishes where his head was above the rim for a
dunk. Incredibly impressive stuff.

That was all mixed in with too many minutes of complete disinterest, an
obviously underdeveloped feel for the game, and absolutely nothing
resembling consistent effort on defense or going after rebounds. The
name Patrick O'Bryant came up on one occasion, and it should serve as a
warning as to the direction Mullens does not want to head. His potential
is that of an all-star, but there are many red flags that cause us to take
pause. At this point it's hard to say how much of his upside he'll be able
to achieve, but there will be a lot to look forward to for Ohio State fans if
he even comes close.
