Shelvin Mack

Remember how in love we were with Cotton after his 21 point game last year? He was 3rd string in Atlanta for a reason. Let's calm down until we get a realistic sample size.

The guy pimping out everyone-you've-never-heard-of is wanting to calm expectations on guy-you-may-have-heard-of?

Mack never played d league doe.
 
Is his floater-game sustainable? Really impressive.

Most of them seemed pretty easy. Remember, Lillard isn't a very good defender so I think he was able to get off some easy shots. The only one that was ridiculous was the one he hit going to his left over Ed Davis.
 
"isn't very good" is putting it lightly. Defense is a pock mark on Lillard's game. He looks clueless sometimes. Other than that, though, he looks like a top-5 player to me. Seriously, his offense is amazing.

Mack played for the Maine Red Claws for quite a few games. We could have signed him for nothing then but this seems like a reasonable trade.
 
His hesitation game seems almost on par with Hood's after one game. He's not nearly as fast as a lot of PGs, but his girth makes him indefensible by anyone shorter than 6'3". That's going to be valuable in a lot of situations because he can penetrate the perimeter without relying on speed and create opportunities with his defender stuck on his hip (like Hood).

Nice get, DL.
