So many tough shotmaking, lack of rim pressure guards and wings that need significant physical development… and a big that does too

So, the question is: does Maluach follow a path like Mitchell Robinson or Dereck Lively -- or more like Mo Bamba, who had incredible measurables but never fully overcame similar limitations?

That’s the Khaman Conundrum.

If Maluach doesn't make these physical developments, his game may be too limited to translate, despite the tantalizing flashes. In this case, he's likely a reserve at a non-valuable position.

- Will his hands improve to the point where he can better secure rebounds and finish through contact?
- Will he grow into more than just a finisher off rolls and cuts offensively?
June 25, 2025 at 7:45 PM
But, a few swing factors will likely determine whether Maluach can overcome his deficiencies:
- Can he reduce his load time by adding core & lower-body strength -- improving the speed and versatility of how he gets off the ground (i.e. one-foot jumping)?

I do think one of the more encouraging elements of Khaman's game is his pick & roll defense -- he moves well in space for his size and has solid instincts.

He also shows flashes of soft touch and is very coordinated. He's not yet 19 & only began playing the game ~6 years ago.

Maluach posted just a 4% assist rate his freshman year and is very limited putting the ball on the deck or operating out of dribble hand-offs. He’s a pure play-finisher.
