The Utah Jazz have been looking for a veteran guard to help them as they deal with the loss of young guard Dante Exum for the 2015-16 campaign but still remain competitive in their push for the playoffs. It appears they have found that veteran in the form of Atlanta Hawks point guard, Shelvin Mack.

Mack comes into a situation for the Jazz that can help him beyond this season. For now, he’ll be looked at as the main reserve point guard behind the young duo of Raul Neto and Trey Burke this season but next year when Exum returns, he might be the odd man out unless the Jazz move one of the young guys.
