On April 1st, Sebastian Mack just announced he's entering the transfer portal when it opens after the national championship. The 6'3 junior combo guard from Missouri started strong, but faded fast this season. He averaged 7 points over 12 minutes per game across 18 appearances, shooting just 40.7%. Earlier this year, Mack transferred from UCLA hoping to bounce back.
There he dropped 12.1 points as a freshman, but his role shrank as a sophomore under coach Mick Cronin. At Missouri, he started the first nine games, but barely played in conference, suiting up for only five SEC contests. Coming out of Coronado High in Las Vegas, this four-star talent from Chicago aimed to revive his game with Dennis Gates. Instead, his efficiency hit a career low amid Missouri's inconsistency, limiting him to under 10 minutes in most outings, except one big loss to Alabama.
Now Missouri loses Mack on top of Anthony Robinson II, forcing a full backcourt rebuild. Agents and players keep dropping these early notices even before the portal cracks open. Expect more shakeups as teams eye the postseason finish line, reshaping rosters for next fall.
