3. Daniel Mullings (Senior – New Mexico State Aggies)

With four players on their roster from Canada, you could probably rename the team the Toronto, I mean New Mexico State Aggies. Leading the way is returning WAC (Western Athletic Conference) Player of the Year, Daniel Mullings. Add in freshmen Tanveer Bhullar (Sim’s 7’3″ not-so-little brother) along with guards Jayln Pennie and Matt Taylor and the red/white Aggies jerseys might as well have a maple leaf on them.  Mullings was a do-it-all player for NMSU last year, leading the team in scoring and second in assists. If the Aggies are going to return to the dance again next spring, look for Mullings to be a big reason why.
