Utah Jazz: OKC, Houston both got better in Harden trade, Jazz say

NBA » Thunder’s third option will be primary scorer for the Rockets.

Hayward left college after the title run in 2010, and Mack stuck around for the following year’s run. The Wizards drafted Mack 34th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft. He served as the Wizards’ backup point guard, playing in 64 games. He was beaten out for the job by veteran Jannero Pargo.

Hayward, however, has confidence he won’t be the only Butler Bulldog in the league for long. He expects Mack will be back.

"Going to Butler, he’s a winner," Hayward said. "He knows how to win in the game and I know somebody will pick him up."

Might the Jazz be interested in reuniting two and resurrecting some of that March Madness magic? Unlikely. The Jazz already have four point guards, including Randy Foye, and have the maximum number of players allowed on their roster.
