Name: Khaman Maluach
Class: Freshman

Previous prospect profiles have covered two highly productive freshmen centers in Thomas Sorber and Derik Queen. Duke’s Khaman Maluach has also impressed this season but is a unique prospect compared to Queen and Sorber. Maluach projects as more of a shot-blocker and lob threat but could potentially be elite at both.
So far on the season, he’s averaging less than one block a game but that’s largely because so few players are willing to challenge him.
