Miami is in the ACC.really skilled can easily be a 20 point per game scorer, but lacks the size and athleticism to play in the NBA, He will get a very hefty payday next year from a SEC team
Because he cannot jump at all and doesn’t block outMiami is in the ACC.
I agree, he's very good, BUT why doesn't he rebound better? Had 8 yesterday and at least 2 late were off missed FTs and uncontested. He should be a double double machine. Wish he was as interested in attacking the glass as he is going to the bucket. Already very good, but the opportunity to get so much better!
No one blocks out, really. It's rare when you see it. And, I don't think I've ever seen a team that bites on shot fakes so easily, while conversely using so few on the offensive end. Maybe that's why they bite: they don't see it often enough in practice!Because he cannot jump at all and doesn’t block out
Hillman blocked out. Even when it didn’t matter.No one blocks out, really. It's rare when you see it.

Hopefully no stay @ IU. He ill get bigger and improve his 3 pt shot. He can play in the NBA.really skilled can easily be a 20 point per game scorer, but lacks the size and athleticism to play in the NBA, He will get a very hefty payday next year from a SEC team
IU, why would he leave?Watching him last night.I agree..He's a load around the basket..He'll make a great front line anchor somewhere..
He has 2 more years to get better.Because he cannot jump at all and doesn’t block out
Possibly. If he staysHe has 2 more years to get better.
I hope so ,He'll work hard to get better.Possibly. If he stays
2 more yearsBecause he cannot jump at all and doesn’t block out
I'm going to a place that makes the tournament. .IU, why would he leave?
To go somewhere and win and play in tournament.IU, why would he leave?
If you can't jump, you can't jump. You just cannot improve that very much unless it's because you're very out of shape or overweight, Malik is neither. But he can/should be able to get better at blocking out, rebounding, and defense.2 more years
Malik is not a finish product.If you can't jump, you can't jump. You just cannot improve that very much unless it's because you're very out of shape or overweight, Malik is neither. But he can/should be able to get better at blocking out, rebounding, and defense.
He won't be here.Malik is not a finish product. He is so much better than last year,HE has really work hard on his body.Malik has 2 more years to get even better. All the criticism is not warranted. You can hate on the coach. I love to see him mature in 2 years. He will be a load with improve 3 pt shooting.
I disagree, he is not ready maybe by next year.He won't be here.
He's an offensive minded player. If you have a guy like that, he'd better score a lot. I'd say Reneau has. I'd like Reneau to be a better defender and rebounder, but at least he has been pretty consistent offensively. Pretty damn good for a true Sophomore.Malik is money with the ball in the lane, but his incredible lack of effort at defending, rebounding, loose balls, etc is mind numbing. He honestly couldn’t care less.
not ready for what? portal? will get paid big timeI disagree, he is not ready maybe by next year.
for the NBA.not ready for what? portal? will get paid big time
Yes, but his coach preaches Defense First so you have to wonder why he doesn't seem to make more of an effort at it.He's an offensive minded player.

Finnish? You continually say he’s not Finnish? He’s from Miami and you need to brush up on your grammar if you insist on responding to every single post. Geez. 😳Malik is not a finish product.
He is still learningYes, but his coach preaches Defense First so you have to wonder why he doesn't seem to make more of an effort at it.
Well forgive me for not finishing the 4th grade. I guess you are the grammar police. Life is to short Sir.Finnish? You continually say he’s not Finnish? He’s from Miami and you need to brush up on your grammar if you insist on responding to every single post. Geez. 😳
I don't like the grammar police any more than you do, but on an IU forum it's not unreasonable to think most here have some affiliation with the university. You know, like actually attended a class at some point. Many of your posts give me a mini-migraine. And yes, life is absolutely too short.Well forgive me for not finishing the 4th grade. I guess you are the grammar police. Life is to short Sir.
Give him a break. Two more years and CMW will get him into shape.Finnish? You continually say he’s not Finnish? He’s from Miami and you need to brush up on your grammar if you insist on responding to every single post. Geez. 😳
if MM and Ware leave (99% chance). I doubt many will be able to offer what IU will for NIL next year. Miami would be the biggest threat IMO.not ready for what? portal? will get paid big time
You think MM is getting drafted? Or just transferring?if MM and Ware leave (99% chance). I doubt many will be able to offer what IU will for NIL next year. Miami would be the biggest threat IMO.
I think he will be a 2nd round pick yes. But I also think he will go pro if a team commits to signing him, even if he doesn't get drafted and has to go to the G league. He wants to be in the league as fast as possible no matter what.You think MM is getting drafted? Or just transferring?
only problem with that equation is he's not an NBA player.I think he will be a 2nd round pick yes. But I also think he will go pro if a team commits to signing him, even if he doesn't get drafted and has to go to the G league. He wants to be in the league as fast as possible no matter what.
And miller Kopp is? How bout race? Troy Williams? All were in the G league, hell Troy played for the Knicks.only problem with that equation is he's not an NBA player.
I don't want to bet against the kid hope he does. but I don't see it. he's a spot up shooter can't guard anyone. can't score off the dribble against college players. how the hell will he ever make it? Troy Williams is a great athlete. played like a schizoid at times but had some skills that translated to the NBA game. will Mack play in the G league probably so, that's not a great accomplishment for a top 10 kid.And miller Kopp is? How bout race? Troy Williams? All were in the G league, hell Troy played for the Knicks.
I’ll bet you whatever you would like Kurt that Mack plays in an NBA within the next two season after this one.
Careful. I got banned for claiming Trayce and JHS weren’t sniffing the court - the very day TJD started getting a legit chance. He’s done very well since, but JHS is still stuck in purgatory.I don't want to bet against the kid hope he does. but I don't see it. he's a spot up shooter can't guard anyone. can't score off the dribble against college players. how the hell will he ever make it?

Miller Kopp and Race will never be at an NBA game unless they buy a ticket. and Bates had the good game the other day that's awesome happy for him but not close to being an NBA player. do you watch NBA games? JHS can't sniff the floor. and that is a really skilled kid. probably only 15 to 20 American players make rosters as rookies each year. you think bates and Mack are top 20 players in college basketball? there not even top 100, Ware will get drafted, but he better pick his game up or he will end up like Romeo.
tjd has done well I think he will have a decent career. JHS time will tell, most on here don't understand how good NBA players are, could you imagine MM playing against Jason TatumCareful.

Great kid, but as you say, checked out in all areas but scoring.Malik is money with the ball in the lane, but his incredible lack of effort at defending, rebounding, loose balls, etc is mind numbing. He honestly couldn’t care less.
What do you base this on?He wants to be in the league as fast as possible no matter what.
Tatum might break Wilt's record if MM was "checking" him.tjd has done well I think he will have a decent career. JHS time will tell, most on here don't understand how good NBA players are, could you imagine MM playing against Jason Tatum
