Khaman Maluach's performance in the summer league indicated significant flaws in his game, particularly with ball control and rebounding. He averaged only 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and shot poorly from the field and beyond the arc. The Raptors' decision to select Collin Murray-Boyles instead was met with enthusiasm from fans, recognizing Murray-Boyles' defensive capabilities. With Jakob Poeltl's extension and a promising young big man already on the roster, Toronto did not need to take a risk on Maluach, who proved unready for NBA competition during summer league play.
Khaman Maluach struggled to control the ball and get rebounds during his summer league games, averaging 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks.
Big men with questionable hands have a higher bust rate, making it riskier for teams to invest in players like Maluach who lack control and efficiency.
