the 7-footer who brought rare size and stretch potential to Detroit Mercy
In the 2016 season, Malik Eichler stood out as a 7-foot, 233-pound German freshman whose size alone made him a roster differentiator for Detroit Mercy, and he flashed unexpected perimeter touch by going 7-for-11 from three in limited action. His profile suggests a big with some stretch value, plus enough skill to pop in short bursts rather than just camp in the paint. The bigger question is fit and availability: he transferred out after his Detroit Mercy stint, so he reads more like a developmental/project big than an immediate impact anchor.
