Guard | Georgetown
Height: 6’1” | Weight: 170 lbs
2025 Draft Age: 21.31
Following a fantastic freshman season at Harvard, Mack transferred to Georgetown where he will hope to continue improving his draft stock. Despite being somewhat undersized relative to modern NBA guards, he has a skillset that can translate at the next level and develop into an impactful piece.
Not only is Mack a dynamic scorer who can generate points for himself with ease, but he’s also a good passer with natural point guard traits. He’s especially electric from beyond the arc, as the college sophomore has deep range and tremendous accuracy. The smooth lefty has a high release point — which helps make up for his lack of height — and a quick, repeatable stroke.
Mack’s ability to shift gears and change pace quickly makes him difficult to defend. Pair that with the ability to hit shots on the move and convert on difficult looks off-balance and it’s easy to understand why he was one of the breakout freshmen of last season at Harvard. When defenses collapse or his shot isn’t falling, Mack is a legitimate point guard who can facilitate an offense and set the table for his teammates.
Moving forward, Mack will need to continue showing he can be effective off the ball. While he’s best as a playmaker and creator as the primary option, showing NBA teams what he can do in a complimentary off-ball role will be important. Luckily he’s a good positional rebounder and has connective upside as a starting point.
On the defensive end, Mack’s lack of height and strength can be a problem at times. He’s disruptive and can generate steals at a high rate, but he is fairly limited in who he can defend. Adding to his frame and getting much stronger will be key for him moving forward. As the level of competition increases and the players he’s matched up with get bigger and more talented in the coming years, that will be the side of the ball that’s most unclear from a projection standpoint.
A former three-star recruit, Mack established himself as one of Harvard’s best basketball players ever after just one season. Now, he’s joining a Georgetown program that has seen several incredible NBA talents come through the doors of the Hoyas’ locker room. He’s from the Washington D.C. area so this will be an exciting sophomore season in a familiar place for Mack.
