Shack declares for draft

[pfaud001]

Not shocking, but I don’t think he gets drafted. I hope he makes it, though. He has worked hard.

Good for him. Even if it doesn’t happen in the nba you can make quite the living over seas. Or work in the G league and try to get a look

 

[pfaud001]

Probably not much more he could do to help himself. I am glad we had him this year.

 

[Brinkley201]

Good luck to Shack! Thanks to him for trusting in UA and Coach Oates!
I think he will be a good citizen, a great representative of UA, his family, and have a successful life.

I think he has until June 21st (or something like that) to make a decision

I wish the young man success wherever he may land. Thanks for some thrilling moments at UA.
RTR!!!!

His post mentioned that he plans to sign with an agent. He won't be back unless it's an NCAA approved agent.

Shack was a great asset for Bama during his career. I wish him the best in his future endeavors but would really like to have him back for his senior season!

Addition by subtraction... Appreciate him but he is a prime example of a player with a perfect skill set for being the 3rd option becoming an extremely inefficient 1st option.

Hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see his game translating well to the NBA, but I do see him having a successful career overseas. Similar to Levi Randolph and Trevor Releford.

Yep. Completely agree. In fact, I thought those guys (especially Randolph) had more of a chance than Shack.

You sure about that addition by subtraction part? Who's taking his place with a comparative skill set?

Shack needed to be running off screens and playing basketball in a different form that Bama plays. He can shoot and he can finish in ways, but 1 on 1 doesn’t do his skill set justice.

Yeah, being second team all conference and top 10 scorer in the SEC? Being the top scorer on one of the highest rated offensive efficiency teams in the country? This system really sucked for him. He should’ve transferred.

If that was his goal, then yah. But did it put his real strengths on display enough, probably not.
Just imagine, he runs off a few screens and gets a big guy switched on him or they don’t switch and he catches and shoots, his real strength. Makes sense to me.

I agree. This was probably the worst situation for him. I wish he could’ve played for a real coach. He’s a clear Lottery pick if he played in another system.

 

[Pachyderms]

Wasn’t there an announcement a few days ago, he was staying?

You said all that, not me.

I think an old Jerry Reed song best sums up Shack's game - "When your hot your hot, when your not your not."

Around about Sr day Gurley announced that he was returning. I remember word coming out around that time too that Shack was returning which blew my mind. Wonder why he changed his mind? We may never know.

So where is the addition you speak of? He was a 1 option at Alabama because they did not have anyone else stepping up to be that guy.

LOL! Yes. And when I heard that I simply rolled my eyes. These kids. ‘I’m coming back! Never mind.’
