The Oklahoma City Thunder sent rookie center B.J. Mullens to Tulsa of the NBA Developmental League tonight.

Mullens had not played in any of the Thunder's games since the start of the regular season.

Tulsa's regular season begins Friday.




I'm not surprise..........hope he does well.

He should have stayed in school. He was nowhere ready to go pro.

Yep. Would of been good for him and Ohio State. If he came back Ohio State would have a decent 1-2 combo at Center with Lauderdale and Mullens. Now all we got is Lauderdale and a undersize player in Madsen & a tall guy with 0 talent in Big Z.

Oh whatever. His family is extremely poor and he knew he'd get drafted pretty high. Talent wise, would he have been better served staying in school? Hell yes. However, he and his family desperately needed the money.

And he could have been a better player and made more money for his poor family by staying another year and attending college FOR FREE.

Now he runs the risk of being a d-league washout, so the big money may never come.

They showed a video of his first 2 points, a 15 foot jumper.
