While he isn’t believed to be the star athlete on this Georgia State men’s basketball team, Malik Benlevi now in his second year playing under head coach Ron Hunter has indeed turned heads thus far. With his high intellect on the defensive side of the ball and the wise decisions he makes offensively, Benlevi has entered the discussion of being that kid on the rise.
Coach Hunter has expressed many times during his press releases his gratitude for having a well-balanced player such as Benlevi at his disposal. But one coach in particular that has seen Benlevi’s progress over the duration of the offseason is Ray McCallum, who is in his first year with Panthers as the associate head coach.
