[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1281368, member: 26283"] I said "all-around" and given that he can shoot, dribble, dish, rebound, drive, and hit free throws at least at good, if not great, levels, I'll stand by it. He has the highest career ppg of any player since Frank, and only Frank and Kiwane have had higher since Deon. Only Augie, Pruitt, and Mike Davis have had a higher rebound per game average since Brian Cook. Malcolm's career .435/.348/.798 shooting percentages are very respectable for a perimeter player, with better fg% and ft% than Dee, Deron, and McCamey. If you want to look at advanced metrics, his Win Shares (per college basketball reference) is higher than Luther and will surpass Demetri MCamey in the next couple games. It's higher than both Dee's and Deron's on a per minute basis, but he won't surpass Dee's total, largely because he won't play as many tournament games. It won't pass Augie's or Cook's totals because Sports Reference's metric really favors big men. So, if you want me to change my statement to "arguably the best all-around player since Brian Cook" - a difference of one year - sure. But I think the argument's there. [/QUOTE]
