UCLA Men’s Basketball: Sebastian Mack Showcases Elite Transition Offense in Summer Scrimmage

He is off & running!

We already received word earlier this week that head coach Mick Cronin and the rest of the UCLA Bruins' coaching staff that incoming freshman Sebastian Mack has already been impressing in early summer workouts. He is going to have the ball in his hands plenty of times in the 2023-2024 season, we already know that, but his impact on the game is what will keep him on the floor.

Standing at about 6'4 and possessing a nice combination of speed and athleticism, Mack will be ready for the college level. Cronin is going to be watching him closely during the early stretch of the year to see just how comfortable he is running the offense and how many responsibilities he can handle.

But as the weeks go on, we have been able to witness more footage from the Bruins' recent practices thanks to their social media teams and a recent clip showcased Mack getting active in transition and finding another incoming star Brandon Williams for an easy bucket.

Take a look at the highlight for yourself!

This will be a duo that we hope to see more of during the regular season and even though the likes of Aday Mara, Adem Bona, and other talented players will be involved in the offense.

However, Mack being a guard will be looked upon to lift the team up when their offense grows stagnant. I hope to see them playing fast this year and taking advantage of the guys they have on their roster and even though Mack has some areas of his game that need improvement, his upside is clear.
