is it first to commit or can we get Adams AND Mullins????? plenty of room for both wings next year if stew goes pro:

Mahaney / Nowell
Ball / Adams*
Mullins* / Ross
Bundalo* / Abraham
Reed / Singare

why cant we have a 5* come off the bench for once when duke has three or four 5*s coming off the bench this year?

Realistically its probably one or the other... but it shouldn't be.

They have different games. Oversimplification, but Mullins is more similar to Jordan Hawkins (great catch and shoot, avg handle/shot creator) while Adams is more of a combo guard (can shoot and can also be a secondary facilitator).

IMO they would work well together but TBD if they would want to commit together
 
Like @husky429 said earlier, these guys are both shooters that play the 2. I think very unlikely to get both of them, more likely we'll get a combo guard who can play the point very well like Thomas or Lewis, maybe Furphy; hope we get Bundalo as a big 4, and maybe Reibe but he has some serious options with tons of playing time.

If Adams wants to come here and is ready to commit, and we don't know what Mullins is going to do, I think the choice is clear, and hopefully we welcome Darius Adams as our first commit for 2025-26

He will be a great first commit. I thought it was a longshot for months, but i think mullins will be a husky as well. I think he can see what is in his best interest

2 vs 3 is a distinction without a difference in our system. There were plenty of times we were playing Spencer or Solo Ball at the 3 so these guys are both more than capable of playing that same spot

I hear ya, let's see how it shakes out. It could happen, who's to say.
 
Watched a bunch of highlights and he reminds me a bit of Rip Hamilton. Quick release, he’s very crafty with his pace so he even though he’s not the most athletic kid he’s able to get by you. For his slight frame he still is able to create space and angles on his drives, and he uses shot fakes and jabs really, really well. He’s really good.

Adams and Mullins work if the roster is starting from scratch with every other guard/wing gone from the roster, I don't see how that works with the remaining players we expect to have in 2025-2026

If you expect stew back then yeah it prob doesnt work. If you don’t expect stew back then it definitely works. No idea what expectation staff is operating under.

Love this comparison as it was the first guy I thought of myself when I watched.

Stew is a 4, how does that impact bringing in 23’s?
