Teo Malendon, a solution with prospects for EuroLeague teams
Theo Malendon’s two years with the Oklahoma City Thunder and his 116-player roster make him an attractive profile for teams looking to strengthen their perimeters.
players like Mr Maledon in any case, they would not go unnoticed if they decided to return to Europe.
The 21-year-old French point guard (1.93) was released on compensation from the Houston Rockets, to which he was found as part of a trade agreed with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and is a meteor of the Atlantic on both sides in the first phase . He’ll either opt for a two-way contract and claim a permanent return to the NBA from there, or he’ll look to find a team in the EuroLeague and take on a leadership role.
Malenton did not have a bad two years in Oklahoma City as the No. 34 pick from Villeurbanne in the 2020 draft. He played in 116 regular season games and finished with 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per 23 minutes on the floor. He hasn’t had high shot rates, barely exceeding 37%, but his momentum will certainly change if he decides to return.
Undoubtedly, Malenton’s package, which was and remains international, cannot leave indifferent any top-flight team. Especially if Facundo Cabasso prefers, as everything indicates, to extend his stay in the United States.
