A Look at St. John's Since Our Last Matchup

[RuffRuff]

Not claiming one was a better player than the other, but McNeeley had a good amount more bulk to him than Mullins has. The past few games we've seen opponents isolate a player on Mullins who, due to difference on strength, was able to back him down for an easy layup multiple times.

Uconn coming in at 5.5 already, looking like it might bump to 6.5. Hmmm.

And Mullins reaches much too much and picks up some bad fouls.

I'm honestly suprised the coaching staff allows him to keep doing it.

Saw a mock this AM with Mullins at 25 to the Nuggets. Wouldn't be a bad place for him to go, but would he leave for 25?

Mullins is unique player - I can't say I can think of a comp for him either in UConn lore or NBA. I think we've talked about a taller Reed Sheppard, but not even sure that applies. From a style perspective, not sure what he is exactly.

I think its becoming 50/50 he comes back next year.

I have seen him going in the top 15 as well. He is all over the map. The next few weeks may clear some of that up.

last one i saw had him at 12 to Portland

I think there

I guess my point is, as it comes to matching up with these big/athletic teams like a StJ, I don't see our team makeup being that different 5-2, and bench. We still have many of the same pieces as last year, that major difference being Silas at PG. Yes, it has filled a major hole, but we are kinda the same across the rest of the floor. Silas' issue has been turnovers as well - not what you want against StJ. Let's see what they can do tomorrow.

The bench depth is a massive improvement year over year. When those are guys are engaged, we are a much different team.

True, issue is they've been less more often lately. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Agree - there are a lot of very good players in that 10-30 range.

He's going all over the place between early and late first round. I don't sense he's what you would call a shoe-in prospect like some of these others that have had massive games and flash a lot of on ball stuff.

UConn -5.5 on DK. Good call @HooperScooper
