Intro: Malik Tidwell (2019)
Malik Tidwell is a 5’9” 2019 point guard out of Marian Catholic that flashed his ability during the high school season and has continued to improve. He is a strong and compact guard that has a thick upper body. Plays physical with power drives connecting on runners in the lane. Isn’t the most quick twitched guy, but he is crafty getting in the paint. Usually a pretty effective shooter off the catch. Tidwell will be a nice small college player at the next level.
How was his sophomore season with Marian Catholic?
“It went well. I went from not playing that much to become a starter. I really improved my game. I wasn’t really a shooter until this year. Coach got me in the gym and worked on my game so I became a spot up shooter. Also working on my ball handling too.”
He is enjoying running with a talented Meanstreets 16U squad this spring.
“It is going well. We need more chemistry. We are starting to gel and improving. For this team I do a little bit of everything. Rebound, shoot, pass, and play defense.”
Tidwell told us the biggest strengths in his game.
“I feel like I attack the basket best and when the defense collapses I can drop it down to a big.”
No college attention at this time.
