Expert Analysis

Eric Wallace

Prep Hoops Scout

Rideout has had some scoring outbursts this season as the second leading scorer for the Rams. The unsigned senior is a lead guard with size, speed and improve decision making. He is can create his own offense off the bounce and can create havoc on the defensive end of the floor.

Although he didn’t make a field goal, Malik contributed 7-9 free throws, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. He threw an alley-oop off the backboard to MJ Curry in transition. Rideout’s ability to draw fouls and cash in at the line helped the Rams pull away from the Knights.

Rideout is a smooth shot-maker. His jump shot is a premier weapon, creating off the dribble to get to his spots in the mid-range or pulling up from three. Malik showcased an in between game as well, finishing with a floater in traffic against Mt. Vernon as he tallied 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals with three made threes.

Rideout is a guard with both size and the ability to use it effectively. His repertoire of moves and ability to get paint touches put significant pressure on opponents. His presence on the court is always felt. Knocked it down from 3, got to the rim at will for tough crafty finishes, make some slick passes to teammates for easy buckets and showed great versatility on defense as well…Plays for Team SMASH

Malik Rideout Malik Rideout 6'1" | CG Grayson | 2026 State GA returns to Central Gwinnett where he’ll run the point for a squad that looks much improved. Rideout’s skillset is well-versed, able to kill defenses with his attacking, outside shooting, and playmaking ability. The weight room will be important for Rideout moving forward but he’s got the right people behind him and I’d bet on a promising career.

Malik Rideout Malik Rideout 6'1" | CG Grayson | 2026 State GA showed out on Saturday, an exciting combination of scoring and playmaking on display from the Gwinnett County guard. He’s a do-it-all point guard with a natural feel for the game rarely found in players his age. He had a number of pretty assists on Saturday, reading defenses and seeing the floor at a high level. Rideout opened some eyes as a freshman last year at Central Gwinnett and will now look to take a step forward with a few more pieces around him.

Rideout has seen big minutes his freshman season. He’s a smooth guard that balances his scoring with his facilitating and is a pesky on-ball defender.
