The maturity is slightly average, but the talent and potential of the Sun Lotto Show is indeed quite amazing?

Basketball

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Lakers who played at home 103-81, achieving a good start in the preseason, while the Lakers suffered such a crushing defeat in their first preseason game.

In this game, the Suns' substitute inside rookie Khaman Maluach performed well. Maruac played 9 minutes and 51 seconds in the whole game, made 1 of 2 shots and 2 of 4 free throws, scored 4 points and 6 rebounds, and had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +2. Maruac's ability on the offensive end is indeed average. He does lack basic scoring ability, and he does not have any outstanding talents in other aspects. However, Maruac's performance on the defensive end is still quite good. His rebounding protection ability is quite outstanding, and he can also effectively use his advantages in physical talent to cause huge trouble for his opponents. Maruacchi's overall role is quite prominent, and he also showed off some of his own characteristics. It is not easy to do this with limited playing time.

Maruacci was born in September 2006 and is 19 years old. He is the inside player from Duke University selected by the Suns in the 10th pick in the first round in this year's NBA Draft. According to data from the joint trial physical test session before the draft, Maluacchi's bare feet were 215.3cm, his wingspan was 230.5cm, his standing height was 289.6cm, and his weight was 114.7kg. In the NCAA field this season, Maruac made a total of 39 appearances for Duke, where he works, with averaging 21.2 minutes per game, with averaging 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds (2.7 frontcourt rebounds), 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals and 1.3 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 71.2% (3.5/4.9), 25% (0.1/0.4) and free throw percentage of 76.6% (1.5/2). With his outstanding performance, he was also shortlisted for the ACC League's Best Rookie Team.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Maruac made a total of 3 appearances, averaging 23.3 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 35.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 23.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 43.8%. Maruac's performance in the summer league was considered sloppy. His offensive performance was actually not ideal, but his performance on the defensive end was also quite good. Now that we are in the preseason, Maruac seems to be lacking in maturity, and he can show some of his own characteristics. His talent and potential are also visible to the naked eye. As a high-coupon lottery pick, I wonder how much playing time Maruac will get in the rookie season. Can he launch an attack on the rotational lineup?
