Here's squinty again...

...Together with his pal blinky. I'm pretty sure they are PacMan's sworn enemies. And how about the guy on the right? He's a little lonely. Needs his own nickname.

 

[tee1222]

Come to think of it, I believe I have the wrong guy. All other impostors will not be tolerated.

Either way, let's get this thread back on track! Apologies.

I live in Mercer County where TCA is located. Have only seen MR play once but I am friendly with a few folks in the area who are very knowledgeable and have seen him play numerous times. The knock from those people is that MR does not always come to play and is a bit on the soft side. Hope that report is wrong but that's what I hear.

Folks like myself, Tee, and several others who have seen Malachi a bunch of times throughout the yrs big to differ with your peeps. Everybody is entitled to their opinions though.

Yeah, big difference in opinion. For one, when I saw him play a tourney in RC (although he was playing for TCA) I thought his strength improved a good deal from soph year. Second, this is the same kid who had a team or game high at least 22 points in the NJ state championship. I think there might be a little more to these folk's stories with regard to Malachi. Just saw some animosity from a few people on the bench when I saw him play. But like these folk, I'm not one to gossip.

 

[tee1222]

Yup, game high.

Led the way to a championship as a sophomore alongside Roberson. Looks like he came to play that day.

Best way to understand my point is to read the interview with Fred Falchi his coach at TCA. He pretty much spells it out for you. Even the Hopkins interview above you see Hop talking about skill sets but nothing about intensity, hard nosed play etc. Don't get me wrong the kid has a lot of potential but on this level you gotta bring it every day not just when you feel like it.

Obviously I haven't seen all of his games so I can't speak about intensity and such in every game. I can say one of his best attributes that I've seen is that he has a big clutch factor about him. Meaning that the moment is never too big for him and he's always ready to take and make big shots. I've seen several games where he has struggled throughout to only come up big when the game is on the line. The intensity stuff will work itself out because we know JB won't baby the youngins, ask McCullough during that one timeout in the Hampton game lol.
