i've watched duke probably more than any team other than rutgers and i'm nearly always unimpressed with maluach. already today in the first 4 minutes, he's been beat badly three times by GT's very much average big man. if defense is really all you do, you have to be better than that.
Not watching, but is that Ndongo? I dont think he's average. I think he has a chance to be a good pro.
Ndongo is a 22 year old sophomore, but he started playing basketball late in Africa.
He looked really good at the Elite Camp last year and I was shocked he didnt get a Combine invite. He's got a 7'3 wingspan and he's got a good motor/athletic. His faceup game and feel is better than he gets credit for/gets to show all the time. If he declares (which he probably should given his age) he would be a 2nd round pick in the 40's for me.

I don't get Maluach... Like I get it but I don't get it anywhere in the top 10. He's a mid to late first guy imo.
Malauch is very underwhelming, and I dont like him either, but he's coordinated and huge, so I get buying into that and hoping you can teach him basketball.
The potential is ridiculous, that's the only way I could justify something in the #7-#10 range, but he's just so far away.
I can't recall a raw big who averaged something like 8 / 6 in college (in meaningful minutes) turning into a force at the NBA level. Maybe a guy like DeAndre Jordan?
