Khaman Maluach talks about the NBA Academy's impact on his life and career

Khaman Maluach recently appeared on “The Sideline with Andy Katz” podcast, where he spoke about how the NBA Academy helped shape his career.

“They don't develop us starting from the top,” Maluach said on Wednesday. “They develop us starting from below. They teach you the fundamentals, the small things, the small stuff to do, and just learning from that, taking it one step at a time.”

Former NBA All-Star Luol Deng discovered Maluach when he was 13 years old at a basketball camp he hosted in Kampala, and his rise has been steady since.
