(I read somewhere Matta perhaps cut his playing time simply to get him to stay past his freshman year...guess that backfired!!)

Matta cut his playing time because Lauderdale was working harder in practice and in games than him. Koufos was nowhere near ready for the NBA, Mullens is less ready (at least Koufos could shoot outside of 2 feet from the basket).
