Alejandro Alvarado is a 5-foot-9 sophomore guard.
“He has a lot of skill,” Mullins said of Alvarado, who plays both guard positions, but can see time at the point. “He handles the ball pretty well.”
Sophomore Anton Walker is a 6-foot forward.
“He’s pretty quick,” Mullins said. “He runs the floor well in our fast break offense.”
Junior Ayden Lockett is a 5-foot-9 guard who is a transfer from California.
“He’s a very quick guard,” Mullins said. “He’s legit.”
The Kardinals open their season Thursday at home against McNair Academic of Jersey City.
“Without a doubt, we’re going to see how good we are early on,” Mullins said. “We’re going to have to get better as the season goes on. We will see what happens.”
