Malcolm Riley brought veteran scoring punch and glass-cleaning edge to Texas Southern
Malcolm Riley, a 6-foot-5 forward for Texas Southern, emerged as a proven two-way veteran in the 2015-16 season, earning All-SWAC second-team honors after averaging 13.7 points per game and ranking seventh in the league in scoring. He was especially valuable as a stretch-forward type, shooting 40.0% from three and 88.9% from the line in his pro profile, while also showing strong rebounding chops earlier in his Texas Southern career, including 6.4 rebounds per game in the 2014-15 season. The fit? A smart, experienced forward who can score in bunches, space the floor, and battle on the boards—basically, the kind of steady adult in the room every coach loves.
