"Malachi was very good, really solid and fast out there. I thought he pushed the tempo out there."Nurse's team ended the season with the most steals in the league with 772, a franchise record.A part of this was forward O.G.

He became the second player in team history to lead in one of the five major categories, joining Marcus Camby, who led the league in blocks in the 1997-98 season."He's really guarded literally every position and had some nights where he's given some really, really good players a tough time.
