Where Are They Now: Byron Mullens

Byron Mullens joined the Clippers in the summer of 2013 as a free agent, signing at the veteran’s minimum. In his previous season, in Charlotte, Byron had flashed the semblance of an outside shot, hitting 31.7% of his threes on 3.9 attempts per game. Doc Rivers craved a big man who could stretch the floor for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and thus, Byron was brought aboard. Unfortunately, Byron was a miss from the start. His outside shooting never developed, he was horrible defensively, and just didn’t bring much to the table outside of a few threes when his shot was falling. He cracked 20 minutes in a game just twice, and was traded to the 76ers after playing a mere 27 games in a Clippers’ jersey.
