Maluach is the fourth Duke player to make an early jump to the NBA draft, starting with freshman wing Kon Knueppel and junior guard Tyrese Proctor. Last week, freshman star Cooper Flagg — named The Associated Press national player of the year in early April — joined the list as the favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick.

Drawing a start in all 39 Duke games last season, Maluach averaged 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across 21.2 minutes per outing, shooting 71.2 percent from the field and 76.6 percent at the line.
