Perfect fit for Pope. Florida State big man Malique Ewin should be the top frontcourt target if he decides to transfer

He looks and sounds like a guy who'd be a complementary player to Garrison. I'd be more interested in what a guy like Sorber decides to do, but this guy definitely has some ability. Too bad he gives nothing behind the arc.

Malique Ewin Scouting Report

From JUCO to the NBA. Ewin has all the tools to be a rotational five on an NBA floor. His dominance inside the arc turned the Seminoles' season around and put him on NBA radars. Here's why:

Don’t Sleep on Malique Ewin

IntroductionOne of the most fun parts of scouting NBA draft prospects for me is how unpredictable it can be. Every year, there’s at least 1 or 2 guys who somewhat come out of nowhere to become legi…

Unassisted Makes at the Rim / 40 Mins is pretty self-explanatory, but it shows how many shots a player made that were unassisted (so the player had to self-create those looks). This metric gives us an idea of the player’s shot creation ability – and, to some extent, their shot finishing ability since it only counts made baskets.

Ewin can play here and he would be the starter easily

That doesn't mean he should be. Look at Bama's C this year, he's the best option they have and fits their system, but they could do better than him, despite him being one of the top portal targets at C last year.

Agbim is a baller, if Kentucky can get again they will be getting one of threat guards in the portal

Of all the players in the portal, if we can get him, we need Agbim. Get Obi, we will be reloading.

DC407 not sure who's burner account you are, but why are you so adamant about a Florida State player and their defense? What exactly did they teach in Sunday School that attributed to your knowledge of his defense?

Nice player! Pretty fluid, and I like that he USES his height as an advantage, releases the shot high above his head. Great passer.

Kid doesn't play defense at all

We need a shot blocker

Would like to see how well he can score when getting clobbered with no call. And, can he stay in front of his man on D? SEC a total different deal, full of Oweh types at every position.
