We ready to be honest about Malachi?

This is not a personal attack, I want him to stay with the program, but he is a walking disaster. Just now, gets lost on a pick and roll (again) and gives up a lob dunk, then has a rebound dunk of his own go directly through his hands. He cannot play at this level until all facets of his game get faster and stronger.

Sit his wzz the rest of the game, he is not giving you nothing

 

[Chops79]

His head is not in the game

 

[phunterd]

Moreno has killed us this game and gave up the three against Santa Clara. He needs to sit.

 

[Johnnie Africa]

He’s a typical freshman

 

[Goingfor9]

He’s been a thoroughly average center this year. Only 1 double-double against power conference opponents. Only scored in double figures 6 times against power conference opponents. Only came up with 17 points and 12 rebounds in 65 total minutes across 3 SEC tournament games.

Still think he’s a nice long term piece but Pope has gotta go find an upgrade at that position in the portal for next season. I’m not with the fans penciling him in as a starter next season.

He’s gotten worse as the season has passed by

A big with god awful hands is basically unplayable.

Don't see what others apparently see on here. But then again, there are a lot of really, really dumb people who post here.

He's a good player and going to be really good or great. He's a freshman that isn't ready for a role this big. Needs time to develop.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Said when he was recruited he was slow, bad hands, plays below the rim. I had hope in the non con. But in conference play til now, it’s pretty apparent.

 

[ABLCommenter]

At least he isn’t using us like JQ

 

[MonsterMash79]

He’s extremely soft.. Pope needs to resign, this is sad..

 

[Henogee1975]

MM is so weak. Makes me think that he’s never been inside the weight room. He’s relied on his size playing against smaller players his whole life. He’s got a lot of work to do this summer.

 

[Cheap Buried]

He is weak with the ball. Looks like Tarzan... plays like Jane.

 

[Hitman206]

I'm wondering if his late season decline may induce him to leave.

 

[BlueKnight2011]

I'm wondering if his late season decline may induce him to leave.

I wouldn’t care if a single one of these guys left at this point tbh

 

[lookinfor8]

He's being "coached" By Mark Fox and Mark Pope. Along with Alvin Brooks/Cody Feuger.

Exactly

 

[LineSkiCat14]

He definitely has regressed or maybe exposed.. or both. He was much better earlier in the year.

I am intrigued in him coming back to get better. Not like we have a center anyways. But it cant be for a lot of money, he in no way has proven to be worth any sort of $500k+ NIL deal.

 

[NociHTTP]

He is weak with the ball. Looks like Tarzan... plays like Jane.

I still think he looks a lot like Encino Man.

 

[waldo160]

He was a freshman.
He is a big guy.
He played smart and has tons of potential.

He’s a soft as a baby’s ***
