Coach Ground’s Quote: “Throughout Maleke’s high school career he has proven himself a winner on the highest stages. He has a basketball pedigree in his family, and he really understands the game. We expect that to continue here in his time at Saddleback. He brings a toughness and leadership to the team, and does a phenomenal job of getting the whole team involved and making the guys around him better. He needs to continue to do that and that should lead to great success for our team.”
