20p 5r 2a 1b vs Westtown; 23p 9r 3s 3b 8/11 FG vs Bonner Prendie
-Malonga had the best stretch I’ve seen him play in 1-point wins over Bonner Prendie and Westtown that both saw him hit big FTs. Malonga is moving much better off the ball to get him easy baskets off of off-ball cuts, hit face up and stepback threes, finished several And1 drives to the rim, and was a dynamic shotblocker for the Rams. He has improved his attention to detail at the defensive end of the floor and is seemingly more and more capable of being a dynamic/switchable defender that can plug a lot of holes in a defense. Came away most impressed by how much his handle is improved as he made some plays off the bounce that I hadn’t seen him make before this weekend. Now I just want to see his hip mobility and back foot burst to improve to take advantage of his long strides and size as a slasher. Huge upside here as a longterm prospect but it’s coming together nicely for Malonga in new threads with the Rams
