Khaman Maluach, a towering 7 feet 2 inches tall, has emerged as a rising star in the basketball world. His journey began when his family fled conflict-ridden South Sudan during his childhood, eventually settling in Uganda.
Growing up in Uganda, Khaman’s height made him stand out, leading to encouragement to pursue basketball. His talent was soon noticed by an NBA Africa Academy scout, propelling him into the spotlight.
At just 17 years old, Khaman is representing South Sudan in the Olympics and is already a top prospect for the NBA Draft. Before entering the draft, he will first showcase his skills on the college basketball stage at Duke University in the US.
