Chris Mack’s system was supposed to be a hand-in-glove fit for Louisville basketball wing V.J King. At 6’6″ 215-pounds, the junior former McDonald’s All-American looked on paper like he was going to finally have his breakthrough.
After an up and down sophomore season playing under David Padgett, Chris Mack was able to convince V.J. King, a player who’s performance still hadn’t matched his expectations and hype, to stay for his junior season.
It wasn’t hard to see why King would want to.
Mack had a history of coaching up wings and getting them ready to play at the next level.
