Analysis:
Mack made his name in Butler’s NCAA Tournament run alongside Gordon Hayward. Now the Bulldogs are his team and they have started off slow, despite Mack’s efforts. He is a very good shooter with NBA range on his three and can fill it up when needed. This season he has taken more of a leadership role and has shown the ability to distribute the ball and run an offense. He is still a bit of a tweener, but has the potential to be a very good point guard at the NBA level. He lacks the elite speed and athleticism that is needed for the point guard position today. Today he is a mid-second round pick, a lot can change in March though.
