Projection

Round 1 Top 10

A product of the NBA Academy Africa, Khaman Maluach is a player that would have been causing a major stir throughout his high school career had he played high school ball in the United States.

What immediately stands out about Maluach is his size. He's simply massive. At 7-foot-1 with a big and strong frame, he's almost impossible to move in the post and he has a pretty well developed low post game. He makes jump hooks, he finishes lobs, he has counter moves and he knows how to establish position, present a target for his guards and then finish once the ball is delivered.

What makes him even more special is that he has legitimate faceup ability. He is comfortable taking and making threes and while he needs to get more consistent with his shooting, it is already a legitimate weapon that he'll only improve upon with time.

If there are any areas where Maluach can improve it is with his overall conditioning and athleticism. With hard work in a college weight room he can really tone up his physique and add true power to go along with his size. While at 7-foot-1 he doesn't exactly have to be a high flyer, getting a little quicker off the floor to corral lobs and rebounds could make him an even more imposing force in the paint.
