After being hired as the new head coach of Louisville basketball, Chris Mack had just seven scholarship plays available for his first year in a new role. Louisville had just two guards on the roster at the time, neither of which had shown in the 2017-18 that they were quite ready to step into the lead guard role.
It took some time and a few misses but finally after a few weeks Mack settled on the guy he wanted. At the time we knew nothing about him, other than the fact that he was from Kentucky.
