Summary:

Malcolm Cazalon is an athletic combo guard that projects to be a second round prospect for the 2021 draft. However, he has not played much in professional basketball, and he did not play well in France’s top league last year. He has not played much in the top leagues, but he has really struggled with his jump shot. There’s been plenty of hype on Cazalon, but he will need to show that he can play well in professional basketball to show that he may have what it takes to make it to the NBA.
