On this day back in 2012, Dion was projected as the #23 pick by DraftExpress.  I do believe that the combine was much later back then though.  Based on my Google skills, it looks like the Combine took place on 6/8, at which point Dion was projected at #17 on their mock.

Obviously that's still much better than Malachi's current standing on DraftExpress though.  But I'm not even talking about Dion and the 5 on 5's.  I'm talking about the fact that his refusal to take part in team workouts is what fueled all the speculation about him having a promise from a team around the lottery.  As you can see here, Malachi's refusal to take part in the 5 on 5's is already starting to fuel speculation that he must have a 1st round promise/must be getting good reviews from NBA teams, and it's possible that as a result, it could have a similar effect for him; fuels intrigue in him as a prospect and gets NBA teams picking in the teens to look harder at him or something.  It's a gamble, but it wouldn't be the first time that similar actions helped a prospect.
