I'm not going to start Mullin out of position because he had a longer tenure with Golden State. Nobody fucked up. I'm well aware of Mullin's resume. In fact he ranks #130 in my all time resume ranking system. I also watched him play, pre-Webber, and would not start him at PF over any version of Chris Webber. Sorry. Plus like I said...I need him for my second unit.
Yes, Mullin was awesome. If it wasn't for that damn KD he would be starting.
They also don't have him listed as 6'10 and pulling down more than 5 rebounds a game. Perhaps if I wanted to run a small ball lineup, then I would start Mullin.
This has nothing to do with being a student or fucking up. This is simply you picking a fight where there is none. There is nothing controversial or wrong about starting a young Chris Webber over Chris Mullin at the PF position. Perhaps I should also start Sprewell and Thompson and just have a line up of wing men. Who needs rebounding, rim protection,
