Former Hapoel Tel Aviv forward Colin Malcolm is set to face his old team for the first time on Wednesday evening, playing for Anadolu Efes in Turkey. Malcolm, who started in 32 of Hapoel Tel Aviv's 40 games last season, has found a more central role with Anadolu Efes compared to his previous team.
Malcolm has scored in double figures in his last three games, matching his longest streak with Hapoel Tel Aviv. This season, he is averaging 8.7 points per game with 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 21 minutes, an improvement from his 6.8 points per game average with 0.8 steals in nearly 25 minutes for Hapoel Tel Aviv. He achieved a strong performance index of 19 in Anadolu Efes's two games prior to the current week.
Serbian commentator Sasa Djordjevic noted Malcolm's effectiveness, stating, "His drives to the basket open up the game. He penetrates again and again, is everywhere on defense as well. An excellent combination." Idil Yasin Turhan added, "Malcolm is the glue, both on defense and offense. His impact is similar to that of James Anderson during Anadolu Efes's championship seasons."
