I checked out some vids of Malachi Smith when people were being cryptic about a guard transfer. Averaging 20 ppg and from Illinois, he made sense. After watching some videos my thoughts were, it's not him. I just didn't see the footspeed. He's obviously talented. You have to be to score 20 ppg at the Division 1 level. But I just don't see him getting 20 on our All Big Ten defensive team player.
Below is a video of his highest point total of the season against the only team they've played that made the tournament. Talented, but he's not someone that is going to break you down. He does a lot of scoring in the paint. So if Trent keeps him out of the paint and Kofi is down there waiting for him, it will be much harder than he is used to.
