2025 Draft Profile - Khaman Maluach

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - March 25th: "Maluach had a positive weekend facing two undersized frontcourts in Mount St. Mary's and Baylor, anchoring Duke's defense in blowout victories. The game seems to be slowing down for Maluach, who is one of the most impactful paint presences in college basketball with an elite combination of mobility, timing, intensity and length."

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "Maluach has rare movement skills for his size and some pretty good ball skills as well. He might not be an elite talent but he impacts all aspects of the game, more than shows up a box score."

Jonathan Giovany - ESPN - March 13th: "Maluach is playing an important role for the No. 1 ranked Blue Devils, anchoring the team's top-six defense, inhaling rebounds on both ends and providing vertical spacing as a roller and cutter while sprinting the floor aggressively in transition."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "I'm not quite as high but the appeal is obvious: he's 7-foot-2 with a 7-5 wingspan and a reported 9-8 standing reach to go with rare movement skills for his size."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "Scouts don't sound concerned by Maluach's raw offense or pedestrian shot-blocking numbers. At his size with the way he moves, they see a surefire finishing weapon and defensive disruptor whose pre-Duke flashes of shotmaking hint at another route to offensive upside."

USA Today - March 11th: "Playing about 20 minutes per game, Maluach is a mobile big who excels in pick-and-rolls and has the hands to catch lobs for easy dunks; soft touch at the rim; shot-blocker/rim protector; active on the offensive glass; will get stronger and has a great aptitude for the game, learning concepts quickly."
