Why is Mullins out of the rotation completely?

[Southport Cat]

Did I miss something? Why is he not seeing the floor at all? He is an elite defender and rebounder. I would rather play small ball with Mullins than watch Fitzmorris be two steps behind his man on every possession.

While I don't remember seeing him in this game, supposedly he logged 5 minutes. Still a lot less than he had been getting

He played in OT.

And his absence is a mystery. He’s either injured or in the doghouse.

This team was always going to have a low ceiling without a true point guard.

Boo’s loss weighs heavily this season, which is a shame with all the NIL cash being wasted on other sports.

Mullins entered the game with 19 seconds left in overtime.
He did not play other than that.

Yeah, this is a weird one. I thought Mullins was becoming a valuable role player. Plays well on the defensive end and knows his role on the offensive end. Not a great three point shooter, but has shown he can make them sometimes when he is open.

I know there are only so many minutes to go around, but I think Mullins deserves more than he has gotten the last few games (which is pretty much none). I think he does some good things when he is on the floor, even if it doesn't completely show up in the box score.

We need to rest Martinelli and Barney more as they're shooting percentages have recently plummeted due to do playing excessive minutes and someone like Mullins could take those minutes

I'm in the camp of trying to get these guys a few extra minutes of rest a game (maybe have them out there around 35-36 minutes a game instead of 39 minutes). That said, it's hard to know for sure why their shooting percentage are down (especially Barnhizer) the last few games. Could be a variety of things, including just going through a cold streak. Really impossible to know if it's minutes related or not.

Something has to be up with Mullins that kept him off the floor. Is he under the weather, injured or something else? It would be great to have him and Hunger back this week.
