Want him badly
He and Dixon are my "have I told you lately how much I want Mathis" from this year's class

I've also seen Paul play this past February. He was only a soph but he really impressed me. He knows the game and sees the court very well. He can hit jumpers, can drive & finds the open man. I think he can really help RU. I hope to catch him this coming season as well.
That release on his jumper is lower than Thiam
Same here, maybe since he was still young, just a sophomore his strength etc. gets better and so will his release/results.
Since you’ve seen him play, how tall would you say he is? In his video he looks like he has nice height for a point but doesn’t come across as super quick or that he has significant hops on drives. Showed that he has nice tear drop shots in the lane which you see shorter players do. If his outside shot is not automatic would you say that his superior quality is his smarts on the court? What what he bring to the RU class that would elevate it? Curious to know.
GO RU

Yeah see a little Bob Cousy there..just kidding... he is still so young but he will have to make adjustments but a 6'5 floor general is nice to have!!
I really dig both links/Lincs. [thumb2]
He likes one of my favorite moves of all time, on any player, on any level......The Up and Under Move !!!
The up and under with a Great Ball Fake is difficult to defend. A lot of players do it as a post move. Mulcahy does it while driving to the basket........Those up and under moves at the .25 second and 1.10 second marks are beautiful moves...veteran type moves !!!

Kid has a little bit of arch in him.
Reminds me of the Uconn point guards whose name escapes me from the early to mid 90s before we got to the big east (not Henefeld)

Just a note and tribute to the first to show that move, the great Connie Hawkins. Dr. J and M.Jordan made it a thing of beauty, but Hawkins was the first....RIP Hawk!
Here we go, The obligatory, "he's not fast enough" comments from a 2 min video. What did you expect to see, those fast blur lines in the video?
A 4 minute video watched in 2 minutes most certainly would
There is nothing in that video that shows how he moves laterally. Half the plays are him taking a spot up shot, several are the up and under moves in the half court.
There is nothing there to conclude that he is not a B1G level player.
Not every player needs to be a track star on the court to get it done in the B1G., Just ask Wisconsin fans.
I think it is going to come down to his shooting stroke. I'd think it would be a must for him to become a plus shooter.
True, a lot of the Wisconsin players look slow but have size, good fundamentals and good shooting strokes to compensate
It seems like as a coach, seeing a decent player who dribbles with his head up, and looks to get others involved is a rarity these days. The market is not necessarily full of them.
Also, as a coach you try to look at a kid and see the potential for him allowing you to coach him to reach your potential. Easier said than done.
Mulcahy is a decent player. I always click a vvideo thinking I would see more.
I would agree that he needs to develop a shot. He is still young. Also, RU will look to fill out their roster and make sure they have enough athletic kids so if they were to take Mulcahy, they could mask his weaknesses.
They still have some time. I think this kid takes his time committing. There's always a spot for a player like him. Like degaz said, you can't win with five of him, but you certainly need a little of him to be a great team.

He was a sophomore, still time to grow and develop. He seems to make quick decisions and has a high bball IQ. Watched videos of games, not high light reels.
He has 2 years still in HS to develop, he is 6'5" and appears to run the show as a sophomore. Let's see how he develops moving forward in his young HS career. He is listed as 4 stars, for those that look at that kind of stuff.

If a guy is being targeted as PG, I would be the first to agree that he needs to show some speed and quickness.
But, other guys can be very effective without a lot of speed and athleticism. When I saw Mulcahy complete those crafty looking "Up and Under" moves I could sense that this guy was a player who just knows how to finish. As opposed to Speedy guys that rely on that in HS and then find that they can't finish plays in College because they never developed a full arsenal of moves.

Coach P, Coach Willard, Coach Buzz Williams (Va Tech) and Coach Jankovich (SMU), according to Rivals, have offered Paul Mulcahy. Add BC and St. Joe's if you follow 247. Not a bad list for a rising Junior. Appears Mulcahy will be a 20+ offer kid.
That does not mean anything....it's clear from the observations by a few in this thread that he is NOT fast enough for those offers, those teams or those Conferences (ACC, Big East, AAC).
