Unless somebody has recruiting a mongoose, this guy’s going to score many points. He’s that quick. “I can’t think of words to tell how quick he is,” Coach Lefty Driesell says. “It’s amazing.” … At 6-7, he’s the equal of many 6-9 and 6-10 players because of exceptionally long arms … Can dunk two basketballs at one time although they won’t let him do it in a game … Has great leaping ability and precise timing … Defense is superb … May be best close-to-basket player Driesell has recruited … Has been named on several pre-season all-America teams … Driesell expects him to be on several actual all-America teams by the end of the 1968-69 season … Was first team all-Southern Conference in 1968 … On all-Charlotte Invitational, all-Southern Conference tournament and all-NCAA Eastern Regional first teams … Second team member of Converse Magazine’s all-America as sophomore … Most valuable player in Southern Conference tournament and Charlotte Invitational.

Driesell on Maloy: “Probably the most exciting player ever to wear a Davidson uniform. A great leaper, great defender and has speed, quickness and tremendous hands. A bona fide all-American.”
