Malachi Poindexter is a steady, efficient two-way guard for Illinois State
In the 2024-25 season, Poindexter gave Illinois State reliable backcourt production, averaging 7.3 points, 1.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 44.7% from the field and 37.0% from three; he also kept turnovers low at 1.0 per game.[2][5] His biggest differentiators are floor spacing, composure, and line-drive efficiency at the free-throw line, where he set a school single-season mark by hitting 94.5% in 2023-24.[6][14] He looks like a good fit for teams needing a low-drama, shot-making guard who can stay on the floor and punish defenses that overhelp.[6][10][17]
