Malek Robinson brings pesky defense and quick-hands energy to Chicago State
In the 2025-26 season, Chicago State guard Malek Robinson is a low-usage freshman who has already carved out value with disruptive defense: 1.5 steals per game and 8 steals in 6 games, despite modest scoring output (3.0 points per game) and a 32.1% field-goal rate. At 5-foot-11 and 155 pounds, he looks more like a spark plug than a stat-sheet hog, and the steal numbers hint at real defensive juice. He’s a fit if you want a gritty, active guard who can pressure the ball and bring intensity; less so if you need a polished creator right now.
