Was Moulder hurt tonight

To be honest, I never really understood the hype around Mulder. I guess it was because of how poorly recruiting was going at the time, but he's basically a "poor man's" Julius Mays. The difference however, is that Mays actually played at a Div. 1 school. I'm not saying Mulder is awful, but I've always thought other players on the team would get more PT than him, like Willis and Hawkins. I get that he had a really good 3pt shooting %, but that was in a junior college league.
We haven't even played our first real game yet, there's no way to know who'll be playing more by March between Mulder and Willis, the typical rafters over reaction after one exhibition game.
Well we have seen two exhibition games...but your point stands.
I think Cal has rotation for now but these things are fluid. If Mulder starts kicking ass in practice he'll get more play during games. It is the same thing with Willis...he finally started working harder and now gets more run in game action. I seriously doubt Hawkins plays much when he returns unless he has figured out how to shoot. It sucks playing 4 on 5 on offense when he is in the game. And if you play him, you can't have Lee in because then it is 3 on 5. I suppose if those 3 are Skal, Murray and Ulis we can manage but still a pain for any team to have to do that.
I really think Willis will end up starting at the 3 spot. With Ulis & Murray dominating the 2 guard spots. Skal, Poythress, & Lee will get most of the 80 mins between the 4&5 spot. I think Mathews will play the 3 with Willis. Brisco will rest Ulis & Murray. Imo, Willis is ready to play. He has learned from NBA players in front of him and he is looking more confident on what he is doing. He is rebounding much better. I think that's why Cal said he wants to play Willis. Time will tell.
"rest minutes"…those minutes will go to Mulder, Matthews and Willis before they go to Hawkins.
He's simply an offensive zero w/ PG size. Not much versatility w/ him. Only minutes he will be seeing are garbage time.
Weren't you the one who definitively said Mulder would be a superstar this season with his MJ athleticism and near 100% shooting ability from the 3? Now you're saying he's not good enough to make the rotation? Or do I have you confused with caneinitaly?
Mulder is buried on the wing.
Going to be tough for him to get minutes this season.
It will be even tougher once Hawkins gets back. I think Hawkins' experience will put him ahead of Mulder.
Right now our top 8 look to be Ulis, Murray, Briscoe, Matthews, Willis, Poythress, Lee, and Labissiere. The rest are fighting for scraps. Things can change, but based on the exhibitions, that's how I see it.

no. i'm the one who says murray is way better than seldon. ulis is better than mason. and skal is way better than diallo. i'm the one who also says lucas, traylor, and mickleson all suck bad.
I think M.M plays his way into the rotation. I might be the only UK fan that has 0 faith in D.W but that's just me.
so after hearing how booker was an amazing shooter all last year...uk fans are now saying he wasnt?
sounds about right...
