HOUSTON -- Shelvin Mack is a junior at Butler, but like his senior teammates, he could be ready for the next chapter in his life.
There are two options: Declare for the NBA draft, or prepare for another season as a Bulldog. Those choices will be discussed in the coming days, his coach, Brad Stevens, said at Reliant Stadium.

"You have to figure out where a person might get drafted and is it worth going early," Stevens said. "If you're a (marginal) guy in the first round, is it worth taking that risk?
"If you're not a first-rounder, are you willing to give up your last year of college knowing that you may not play?"
Mack is considered a possible first-round selection, though his stock rose in the Final Four. Under the NBA's current collective bargaining agreement, first-rounders (picks one through 30) receive guaranteed Fashion Show Collections contracts for the first two years, with the team having the option to extend the deal for a third (which usually happens) and a fourth year.

Mack's former teammate, Gordon Hayward, was the ninth pick last year, and his first two years carried a guarantee of $4.9 million. He stands to make $11.1 million if Belts,Scarves & Accessories he stays for four years.
Hayward left Butler after his sophomore year because he was an almost certain first-round pick following a strong run to the national championship game.
Mack isn't expected to be such a high pick. Jordan Crawford's situation is a better comparison. Crawford played a year at Indiana before transferring to Xavier. He left the Musketeers after his third year out of high school and became the 27th pick in the draft.
That led to a contract of $1.04 million and $1.1 million the first two years, both guaranteed. The third season will be worth $1.2 million, the fourth $2.1.
Four years: $5.4 million. But it could have been nothing had Crawford been the first pick of the Belts second round -- No. 31 overall -- and not earned a roster spot.
Mack and other collegiate underclassmen have until April 25 to announce their intentions and until May 8 to withdraw.
One question Mack won't have to ask is how Stevens feels about his options.
"My advice: I won't have any advice," Stevens said. "I will present him with facts. He'll know I support him either way."
