Malachi Cooper gives Franklin Pierce an instant shot-making spark
Through his first collegiate stretch, Cooper has produced **11.0 points per game** on **48.1% shooting** and has shown he can score efficiently without needing heavy volume, including a **27-point debut** for Southern Wesleyan in the 2025-26 opener before his Franklin Pierce stint. Sources describe him as a **quick, active guard** with good vision, strong defensive hands, and the ability to get to the rim, which makes him more than just a scorer. If you want a guard who can create offense, compete with energy, and fit into an up-tempo or pressure-heavy system, he is worth a close look.[1][5][9][11]
