2024 Fantasy Outlook
A one-and-done freshman at Duke, Maluach earned ACC All-Freshman Team honors with averages of 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21.3 minutes per game. A lengthy, rim-running big man, Maluach shot 71 percent from the field and 77 percent from the line. The Suns were overjoyed to select him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and they view him as a long-term building block that will be capable of playing some rotation minutes right away. The Suns acquired Mark Williams from Charlotte on the same night, and he's projected to start and see minutes in the high 20s to lower 30s. That means Maluach may have to settle for a role with minutes in the teens to open his NBA career, but it does allow the team to be patient with him. To do that, he'll have to outperform Nick Richards and Oso Ighodaro, and that won't be a given. While not a re-draft target, Maluach is an intriguing dynasty asset. That said, if the oft-injured Williams misses time at any point this season, the rookie center could be a hot commodity on the waiver wire. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Maluach played professionally in South Sudan for three seasons and was named the 2023 Basketball Without Borders MVP before attending Duke during the 2024-25 campaign. In his lone collegiate campaign, Maluach earned ACC All-Freshman Team honors after averaging 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21.3 minutes per game. The defensive-minded big man posted 71/25/77 shooting splits on low volume for the Blue Devils, who lost in the Final Four to Houston. Maluach didn't showcase much of an offensive repertoire at Duke and was limited to hanging around the dunker's spot waiting for lobs, dunks or putbacks. He showed a willingness to let open jumpers fly, and while the mechanics looked fine, the results were not there. Defense is where Maluach really thrives. At 7-foot-2, Maluach has the size and length to be an elite defender in the NBA, but he'll have to work on his technique to stay out of foul trouble at the next level. Donovan Clingan (7'2, 280) is the most recent player who shares similarities with Maluach, but the Duke product also draws comparisons to Hassan Whiteside (7'0, 265) and Mo Bamba (7'0, 231). Zach Edey (7'4, 305) is much bigger than Maluach, but it's worth noting that some scouts believe Maluach could develop a three-point shot very quickly post-college like Edey did last season, which skyrocketed his draft stock. Maluach is a developmental project with a high floor given his defensive projections.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More G League reps coming
CPhoenix Suns
November 19, 2025
Suns head coach Jordan Ott said Friday that Maluach and Rasheer Fleming are likely to spend more time in the G League, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
"They're not in our rotation right now, they want to play," Ott said. "It's great development. Instead of playing here versus coaches, go play against other NBA players. It's important to get those reps, but it's also beneficial to us that it's right down the road." Maluach has made just seven appearances at the NBA level thus far for an average of 5.0 minutes per contest, so getting him some reps in the G League makes a lot of sense.
