Malkin first stood out to me for his timely double teams with the Annapolis Hawks at The Countdown. For his off-ball defense, he’s great at hunting turnovers and putting players on the ground. On the ball, he has the strength and technique to be disruptive—he had 60 caused turnovers this spring with St. Andrew’s. He’s physical, aggressive, and knows when to throw the right check. Steele plays with intensity and feels like a player who’s just scratching the surface.
