The Duke Blue Devils have been dominating college basketball this season. It is largely due to Cooper Flagg, the 18-year-old phenom who is likely going to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft.
Even though Flagg is easily the best player on the team, he doesn't do everything himself. He has an extremely talented supporting cast, and his talent takes the pressure off of the rest of his teammates. While his name may not be recognizable, Khaman Maluach has been a big part of Duke's run in the postseason.
Maluach is a freshman from South Sudan. He played in 36 regular season games and almost averaged a double-double. Malauch could opt to be one-and-done at Duke, or he could come back for another year and have a chance to develop and get stronger and be a force next season.

Khaman Maluach measurements
How tall is Khaman Maluach
Maluach was officially measured at the Basketball Without Borders camp. The center stood at 7-0.75, but that increased to 7-2 when he was wearing shoes. It doesn't make him the tallest player in college basketball — that honor is held by Florida's 7-9 Olivier Rioux. Still, Maluach sticks out on the court and is easy to spot. Agility tends to be an issue with players of his size, but he has no trouble getting down the court.
Khaman Maluach wingspan
Maluach isn't just tall; he also has an impressive wingspan that helps him grab rebounds and block defenders. His wingspan was measured at 7 feet, 4.5 inches at the Basketball Without Borders camp. This is an impressive wingspan that ranks among the best in college basketball — and will be one of the best when he jumps to the NBA. The wingspan doesn't measure up to Wembanyama, though, as the Spurs center has a whopping 8-foot wingspan.
