Yeah, I know it's highlights and it's against high schoolers, but tell me you can look at this and not be excited about next season.

Everyone keeps on saying Stewart is starting if he is it probably means Ball is coming off the bench. Of course that is not happening. Mullins looks like a prototypical wing to me. Way more athletic than the perception based on how some of the comments on this board have tended to lean. We know our staff will get him in the best basketball shape of his life and he just needs a little more muscle. Even as currently is with some of the most recent clips he already has some ability to play through contact.

I have been high on this kid since the video @superjohn shared. Been finding stuff on line and everything I see is pure scorer of the basketball. He will be able to create his own shots. Ball is going to benefit playing with Mullins and Demary. There are nights our backcourt is going to light it up. Super excited to see how the staff uses this new talent in their offense.

But for sure this kid is going to have a terrific freshman year!

He seems to start his shot pretty low, but damn he get it up and off quick.

I was thinking the same thing, but it is apparently perfectly repeatable and it seems to go in a lot. He does show some ability to play above the rim and to score through contact. Of course, that will get harder against the grown men of the Big East, but he also seems to have the frame to add some weight and strength. I'm not sure I see a one and done, but I'm not ready to bet against it either. I can't wait for him to get on campus and to see what the coaches can mold him into by fall.

He has a Ray Allen frame. So he can add some weight but not a ton.
 
He'll be coming off the bench to start the season and maybe through big east season. Stewart is much better equipped to handle BE play physically. Ease the kid in without the pressure. Plus we might keep him for 2 years instead of 1.
 
Great shooter. Interesting to see if in the BE with defenders right in his face if he can get them off, but I like the way he goes to the rim if he’s shut down.

We'll see. I agree with you on the physical front. But it would not surprise me in the least if Mullins is your starting 2/3 from day one with Stew backing up at the 3/4 again.

With the roster what it is now, it's either Stewart or Mullins starting depending on the matchup.

Go bigger we have a frontcourt of Stewart, AK, Reed, Jr.
Go smaller we have a frontcourt of AK, Reed, Jr but Mullins joins Ball and Demary, Jr.

"Starting" is such a charged word. Doesn't really matter as much as results, matchup, and a little luck. Reed, Jr., started 1 game I think. What happens after minutes 1-5 is more critical to what happens in 1-5.
 
Shows more athleticism and better hops than I expected. He's no stand outside catch and shoot player. Creative offensively. The real test and question when it comes to starting at the 3 is going to be defense and rebounding. Needs to add some muscle. He'll get minutes at 2 and 3. Stewart at 3 and 4. Depending on Reibe's development, I wouldn't be shocked if either Alex or Stewart played some 5 in a small ball shooting lineup designed to crush drop coverage 5s (talking to you McDermott).

Reibe looks to me like he’s coming in ready to go… Yes he’ll get much much better the more time he’s in a UConn uniform but he’s no project.
 
I think Andre and Castle are the Hurley prototype in what he wants from a three. They need to be 6'4 to 6'6, athletic and can operate as a third playmaking guard while usually being the teams top one on one defender. I don't know if Mullins fits the defensive prototype (in fact, in theory I think Ross is closer to the prototype) but his three point shooting adds a potentially more explosive dynamic.
