Mack is a one-year guard out of Butler. He has played for the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers and the Hawks in his career. The Hawks signed him to a few ten-day contracts this past season before finally signing him for the rest of the year. He provided some surprising bench depth and was able to help the Hawks down the stretch.
Mack appeared in 20 games for the Hawks after they signed him. He averaged 5.2 points while with them. He ended up scoring 104 points, pulling down 24 rebounds and dishing out 44 assists in total for the Hawks. His numbers overall for the year were 143 points, 40 rebounds and 68 assists. His best game as a Hawk came on the last game of the year against the New York Knicks on April 17th. The Hawks lost that game, 98-92, but Mack scored fourteen points, pulled down four rebounds and had four assists.
Mack is a free agent this off season. The only way he will return to the Hawks is if he comes to training camp and makes the team with a good showing there and during the preseason. Otherwise look for Mack to head somewhere else where he might get more playing time.
Shelvin Mack was a pleasant surprise off the bench for the Hawks after they signed him to a ten-day contract in March.
