Him taking Malovec’s minutes should have happened awhile ago. I wanted Malovec to be a floor spacer but he never consistently hit outside shots.

THANK YOU

But let me ask this. Why in the world has Malevic been playing ahead of Dovrat? Yes he’s taller but except for 1 play that I can remember all season, Malevic has not used his size even once to make a difference. He’s basically a taller, worse shooting Dovrat.
Maybe Malevic was better pre season , but it’s obvious who should be fill that role the rest of this season.

You get it. The thing I’m stuck on is I have seen him put the ball on the deck and actually look athletic going towards the hoop. Not sure why he doesn’t try and diversify his game a little.

I know we have 1 more regular season game, ACC tournament and then March Madness but as of today I would say his season has been a massive disappointment. Never looked comfortable. I can’t remember a single player in all my years of watching basketball who was supposed to be 3 point specialist miss so many open looks.

I’m not saying he can’t improve and end up carving out a role on our team over the next few seasons but I am intrigued to see if Jai even brings him back next year. If he comes back I will expect improvements and maybe we will get a player that can force teams to extend their defense and create space. If not it will show that Jai lost faith in him and was just a miscalculation on recruiting. To me, that was a solid gamble that didn’t hit. I don’t blame coach at all for going after him.

Malovec has such an ugly shot that can be easily disrupted with any defense. He misses so badly with that soccer throw in style. I saw Dovrat take one three shot a few weeks ago and immediately knew that he should be out there. Hes just got a much better quicker shot.
