NCAA Basketball: 10 teams that should target Rutgers transfer Paul Mulcahy

Up until the past few years, Rutgers had the case of being the worst power conference program in all of NCAA Basketball. However, the past core of players and head coach Steve Pikiell turned them into a consistent NCAA Tournament team. One of those key pieces was Paul Mulcahy, a 6’6 ball-handler from Bayonne, New Jersey.

After one season coming off the bench, Mulcahy became the starting “point guard” for the Scarlet Knights. He’s never been much of a pure scorer, with a career average of 6.8 ppg. However, he became one of the top passers in the entire Big Ten in the past two years, including a career-high 5.3 apg as a junior.

This past year, Mulcahy averaged 8.3 ppg and 4.9 apg, including a 2.4/1 assist-to-turnover ratio. The big guard had a pair of double-digit passing games, with one being an 11-point and 13-assist performance against Iowa. He’s also known as a quality defender thanks to his size and versatility as well.

After entering the NBA Draft process, Mulcahy decided to return for his 5th NCAA Basketball season. However, he never made the announcement that it was to Rutgers. And we now know why, as the veteran guard has officially made his intentions known that he’s going to enter the transfer portal.

With both Zyon Pullin (Florida) and Rayj Dennis (Baylor) off the board, Mulcahy becomes the best ball-handler left in the transfer portal. And while it’s June, there are still plenty of programs that can use another guard. Here’s a look at which teams could make sense for the former Rutgers guard.
