Edwim Mercado brings real perimeter value for Saint Elizabeth
Mercado is a junior guard for Saint Elizabeth who has already shown he can stretch defenses and stay relevant in rotation-heavy lineups: in the 2024-25 season, he played in 24 games, made 3 starts, scored a career-high 13 points against Penn State Berks, and hit 41.5% from three-point range, a legit calling card for a wing/guard who can punish closeouts. His profile points to a steady, team-first role player with enough shooting to matter and enough poise to earn minutes, which makes him a sensible fit for a system that needs spacing and low-drama efficiency.
