Rutgers guard Paul Mulcahy declared for NBA Draft while maintaining collegiate eligibility after the 2022-23 season.
Rutgers needed continuity and Mulcahy’s return would provide that.
The lone recruit in the Scarlet Knights’ 2019 class, the three-star prospect out of Bayonne played in 121 games across the past four seasons, starting 81 of them. Rutgers went 73-52 throughout his career, which began with 94 consecutive appearances untilWhether Mulcahy’s role as the program’s main ball handler would remain intact is an interesting question for head coach Steve Pikiell to decipher.
Getting Fernandes out of the portal demonstrated a clear need to add a guard who can get downhill off the dribble, a skillset only rising sophomore Derek Simpson possessed on last season’s roster. But that does not necessarily mean Mulcahy’s days of playing on the ball are over. If the Scarlet Knights elect to revamp their offensive philosophy — a welcome change considering they finished 151st nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency, per KenPom — they’ll have plenty of options to do so. Mulcahy and Fernandes each played predominantly on the ball throughout their careers, but each have shown an ability to succeed as spot-up shooters — Mulcahy shot 36.2% on threes off the action last season, per Synergy, while Fernandes shot 52.
Mulcahy struggled for stretches last winter as he dealt with a nagging shoulder injury that he sustained in November. He averaged 8.3 points on a career-low 41.6% shooting while dishing 4.9 assists to two turnovers and forcing 1.5 steals. Mulcahy had his best year statistically as a junior, averaging a career high in scoring , assists , rebounds and free throw shooting percentage .
