My Take

Khaman Maluach makes the numbers feel unreal, born in 2006, standing around 7-foot-1, already a Duke product and an NBA center with Phoenix. He's from Rumbek in South Sudan and joined the national team at sixteen, and imagining the road from that background to the very top of basketball genuinely warms my chest. To an older guy like me, a talent the whole world is watching while he's barely out of his teens is almost blinding. The best part is that nobody knows where his ceiling is yet. Grow up slow and steady, kid, you've got me cheering already.
