Sixers draft profile: Khaman Maluach is a bona fide big man originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Khaman Maluach, a 7’0.75″ center from Duke, stands out with his 7’6.75″ wingspan and potential, having represented South Sudan at the Paris Olympics at just 17. Despite averaging 8.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in his freshman year, he shows promise as a rim protector and pick-and-roll threat, shooting 80.6% at the rim and 76.6% from the foul line. His fit with the Sixers may depend on Joel Embiid’s health, with concerns about Maluach’s rebounding and overall scoring ability at the professional level.
