At 21, the native of Roanne made his range in the Adriatic League. This Monday, January 2, the winger signed his points record for the season (22 pts, 4 rebounds).
This is a very good way to start 2023. This Tuesday, January 2, Malcolm Cazalon achieved a great performance. With his Serbian club KK Mega Mis, the former ASVEL kicked off his year 2023 with a season record. Position 3 has stacked 22 points at 8/13 on shots in 35 minutes of play, with good regularity from afar (4/8 from 3-pointers). To this, he adds 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals for a 22 rating. After a more delicate month of December, the Frenchman regained his composure, despite his team’s defeat against Olimpija Ljubljana (82-96).
Third season at the Mega
With his Mega Mis club, Malcolm Cazalon attacks his 3e year. In this team, a real greenhouse for young shoots managed by his agency, he can express himself fully. Within the Adriatic League, he can face without pressure the locomotives that are the two entities of Belgrade, Partizan and Red Star, both residents of Euroleague. A good way to practice, as NBA star Nikola Jokic did at the Mega before him, or even Timothée Luwawu-Cabarrot on the French side. Cazalon’s progress is constant. From season to season, his statistical sheet fills up. In 2020-2021, he was shooting at 7 points and 8 rating per game, against an average of 12 units and 11.4 rating this season.
On the way to the draft
With a starting position now affirmed, he is eyeing the top step. Training partner of the French team this fall, the Roannais is from the 2001 generation. The same as Killian Hayes and Théo Maledon, who have made their mark in the NBA since 2020. On the other hand, Cazalon has chosen to withdraw his name, twice. Blame it on injuries that prevented him from being at the top physically. In 2023, the player passed by the JL Bourg is automatically eligible. If the NBA draft is not an end in itself for him, we could see the winger try his luck.
