Malick is one of the top defenders in the country and has scoring capabilities in the package which make him a high major prospect. He can guard 1-4. His defensive knowledge is as good as it gets whether it be on the ball, in the gap, or defending screen...

–Malick Kone, 6-6 rising senior wing, Friendship: Kone, another so-called sleeper I’d been hearing about, wasn’t the featured player for Friendship this game (I’ll get to him), but I could still see his vast array of abilities, as he has a beautiful stroke out to three-point range, as well as off the dribble in the mid-range area, excellent strength, lateral quickness, length and athleticism that allows him to bang inside, finish well above the rim and guard on the perimeter and a fluid and smooth outside game that should translate very well to college.

Ron artest??? Probably not but the guy does sound like a player.  Highly ranked by all the sites and I like the combo of a defensive guy that has 3pt range.

Malik Kone - 6'6", 200 lbs, senior forward, DC Assault - Formerly highly regarded as only a shooter, Kone is approaching those heights again, and has added better ball handling and rebounding. He seems to be getting his 'mojo' back.
