ALo would suprise me. After the father talk, I wouldnt be shocked, but I would be suprised.

Malcolm wouldnt suprise me. He came in saying he was a 2 and done. As much as most people thinks Penny overvalues him, he overvalues himself. He thinks he can do awhole lot more than he is capable of doing.

Malcolm two and done? Has he seen himself play?

The really messed up thing is when he was saying that was during the time he was injured and knew he wouldnt recover until mid-way through season 1. So he really thought he was a 1 and done, but would be a 2 and done because he needed the first season to rehab his knee.

The best-laid plans of Mice and Malco often go awry.

If Malcolm could just learn how to dribble, or better yet how to post up close enough to the basket that all he has to do is turn and shoot. I know that's radical thinking for a big man.

Would be nice to see him play a role (and the correct one). He’ll probably never be a great defender, but why can’t he rebound? He seems too big and strong to only average 2.5 a game.

Steven Adams doesn’t try to score much even though he has more offensive game than MD. However, he plays a role. He’s a good rebounder and also a pretty good passer. Basically the opposite of Malco; he should take notes.

Meh, he's only 6'9' and 250...

sarcasm ^

Malco had 8 points last night with 4 rebounds and 3 to's. Meanwhile Minott who is listed as an inch shorter and 45 pounds lighter had double digit rebounds. That all comes down to want to. ALo had 7 for crying out loud. Earl had 10.

Now Malco did have a team high 3 blocks but then so did Chandler.

Malcolm's minutes need to be as limited as possible, can only play hard, if he feels like it, for about 2 mins then totally out of gas and usually just coasts the rest of the game. Shows flashes of talent every now and then but just has zero motor and it's year 3 that isn't changing.

Low posts is where Malcolm belongs. He can't handle the basketball period. Everytime he tries to drive the lane and there's any body in there he loses the ball and it's two on the other end.

If someone is between Malcolm and the goal seems like his going to miss over 60% of those shots...Even if he is only 2 feet away.

If he misses 60% of the time how is he shooting 55% from the floor? Must be that new math?

He’s saying Malcolm struggles to hit shots when he isn’t wide open.

Anyone remember that time that Keith Lee, Penny, Lorenzen or Joey missed games?

Me either, just saying.

I really thought this would be his breakout season... at times he shows great hands and footwork, and other half of the time he's asleep at the wheel. He's had ample opportunity and PT, just not gained with his consistency, except for his constant fouling... IMO I think he's a still a good 10-15min back up serviceable Big unless he steps it up a little, which I've always figured he would, just hasn't taken that step yet.

Math is easy if you can read...

I've been saying it, he needs to camp out around the basket and leave the perimeter alone. That one high low from Minott to him was flawless.

Because Math. You can miss 100% of 10 shots where you are closely guarded, make 100% of 10 shots where you are not, and still have an overall shooting percentage of 50%.

Doesn't seem likely he is wide-open enough to offset shooting < 40% the rest of the time.

[(a x 39%) + (b x 99%)] / (a + b) = 55%

The ratio comes to about 3 : 1.
Meaning he would have to be wide-open and shoot 99% on 1 out of 4 shots, to offset the low % other 3.
Or something like that, lol.

Don't look for an explanation to Malco's play.
He is an enigma.

Most shrugged them off back then.
Important thing is, he's still here and hasn't quit.

I remember about 8 NBA seasons for Penny.

He looked pretty hobbled on the court during pregame last night. Just the way he was moving around. Not bouncey at all. I hope his back is recoverable.

It is noticeable how tall the guys who aren't playing are compared to the guys who are playing. Jonathon Lawson is the shortest of the non-playing guys.
