Draft Notes

Maluach is an incredibly impressive athlete for a young 7-footer. He’s quick, agile and mobile and changes ends well. He plays above the rim with ease and is a major factor in the paint on both ends of the floor.

Even at this early stage he’s showing a really smooth and fluid jump shot with range out to 3.

His combination of floor spacing and shot blocking will make him a highly coveted prospect in a future NBA Draft.
