Shelvin Mack, Butler , shoots free throws after working out for the Jazz in Salt Lake City Sunday, May 29, 2011. In preparation for the 2011 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz held pre-draft workouts for six players at Zions Bank Basketball Center.
SALT LAKE CITY — In the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, rumors swirled about the possibility of the Utah Jazz acquiring a point guard from the Atlanta Hawks.
On Thursday, the Jazz did just that.
It just wasn’t the point guard everybody was talking about.
Instead of trading for veteran Jeff Teague — or the younger Dennis Schroder — Utah acquired former Butler guard Shelvin Mack in a three-way trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls.
