Message: [QUOTE="EastCoast2, post: 1778493, member: 488"] Malachi won't get drafted because SU made the tournament or even the Final Four. I don't get why I need to keep saying this. NBA scouts don't start paying attention the last week in March. They know these kids from the time they're in middle school. They watch them play in HS, AAU, all season long. Malachi was a McDonald's All American and top-25 player in the country. Do you think he wasn't on the radar until the Virginia E8 game? Once the season is over and scouts see these guys in private workouts and measurements, that's what drives Malachi up the boards. He was a starter at Syracuse, not the 7th man at Eastern Washington Community College. That said, I'd trade any player in the country for a Final Four run. Even if he came back, look at Duke and UK rosters for next season. [/QUOTE]
