Only one player in the past 30 years (since these numbers began being tracked) has ever shot as poorly from 2 point range as Malachi while becoming a long-term NBA player. I don't even mean a good NBA player; I mean just surviving in the league beyond 3 or 4 years. The list contains only Malachi, Andrew Harrison, Josh Selby, and Randy Livingston. Livingston is the one guy that had a long-term career; playing for 10 years while averaging a little over 10 minutes per game. Add on top of that the fact that Malachi didn't do much as a rebounder, defender, or create for others and you had a very poor NBA prospect IMO. This year, Cam Reddish has been flirting with 40% 2PT% line, but he's shot 49% from 2 point range since the beginning of February, which has lifted him above that threshold for now. [/QUOTE]
