Forward B.J. Mack

This is a name that makes a lot of sense because Michigan basketball has already contacted Mack and he actually did a Zoom meeting with the Wolverines.

Mack is a 6-foot-9 forward that has some interesting traits. He can score in the low post and is a very reliable spot-up 3-point shooter.

You always worry about guys transferring up. Sometimes, it works out really well and sometimes, those guys struggle. It took DeVante Jones a bit to adjust and it’s a hard projection to make.

But Mack averaged more than 16 points per game in each of the past two seasons. He made just 33 percent of his triples last season but shot 44 percent in 2021-22. His career percent from three is 35.9, while he’s above 50 from the field and 57.7 specifically on 2-pointers.

I love his versatility. He could play some minutes at the five if needed and if Hunter Dickinson leaves for the draft, Mack would be a great fit alongside Tarris Reed too, and could supplement some of the low-post scoring from Dickinson.
