He has played better... still a frustrating guy to watch sometimes. If he'd cut down on the unnecessary mistakes (shooting a three off the dribble early in the clock or just really bad ball handling mistakes) he'd be a perfect bench guy. He's a good bench player... I hope he can just spend a little more time on the bench now. Thanks Shelvin.

Mack is not a starting caliber PG, and he has sig defficiencies, including way too high usage rate for a non-primary scorer, poor free throw shooter, and inability to guard quicker PGs on the perimiter (Miami, Sac, & Toronto killed Jazz with PG penetration). BUT, with that said, he's a pretty decent backup PG and best PG on Jazz at moment not named George Hill. He definitely helped Jazz stay afloat with injuries to Hill more so that would have Exum or Neto. So give him props. He's definitely an NBA player, perhaps one of better back-up PGs in the league. Only, thank heavens that he's not our primary PG once Hill comes back.

He's helpful off the bench because he can kind of play both guard positions. If you have to rely on him like we have I think it uncovers his ugly some nights.

I will no longer complain about him. Just please God can we have Hill healthy the rest of the season.

I'll join in. Mack has clearly been invaluable with Hill's injury and Dante's regression. Jazz would have been screwed by an Exum/Neto rotation. Not sure if Exum will develop, so I hope Utah can sign Hill and Mack for next season. Neto can be moved to make room for a FA or draft pick.

Mack is what trey Burke should have been.

Mack is a rich man's trey Burke if you will.

Mack is a rich man's trey Burke if you will.

Trey Burke was suppose to be a steady PG who could shoot, distribute, and be a leader. Not sure Mack is any of those things, but he is a guy who can get his own shot, break the paint, and make some floaters.

I feel like you can really tell a lot about a poster if they post anti-Mack rants.

Thanks Shelvin.

The people hating on Mack probably weren't Jazz fans very long. If they were around long enough to remember guys like Keith McLeod, Jason Hart, Ronnie Price, Milt Palacio they wouldn't be complaining about Mack at all.
