Khaman Maluach of the Phoenix Suns has showcased strong potential during the NBA Summer League, recording double-doubles in both of his appearances. Despite calls for him to start due to his performance, analysts indicate that it would be prudent for him to learn behind Mark Williams for another season. Maluach's limited role last season saw him average 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. Coach Jordan Ott is expected to expand Maluach's role in the upcoming 2026-2027 season, though some believe that starting him right away might hinder his development.
