菲尼克斯——在 NBA 赛季的混乱本质中，隐藏着杜克大学篮球家族的底色。该节目一直让球员们将其称为“兄弟情谊”，没有人像菲尼克斯太阳队新秀卡曼·马鲁阿奇那样有这种感觉。

杜克大学每年都取得了很高的成功、稳定性和合理的冠军期望，Maluach 相信这在 2025-26 赛季是完全可以实现的。

“我认为没有人在这里（太阳队）上学能真正赢得（NCAA 男子篮球）全国冠军，”马鲁奇在周日对阵夏洛特黄蜂队的比赛前接受 ClutchPoints 独家采访时开玩笑说。

“无论是肯塔基州、密歇根州、维拉诺瓦州还是马凯特大学。”

马鲁奇一提到马凯特，同为马凯特的中锋奥索·伊戈达罗就看着他附和道：“你说什么？”马鲁奇没有说出自己的评论，但不久之后就轻笑了一声。

卡曼·马鲁奇 (Khaman Maluach) 的杜克篮球之旅

让我们回到一年前。

这位10号秀只在蓝魔效力了一个赛季。马卢奇出战39场比赛，场均上场21.2分钟，得到8.6分、6.6个篮板和1.3次盖帽。

他主要是库珀·弗拉格（Cooper Flagg）、康·克努佩尔（Kon Knueppel）和泰瑞斯·普罗克特（Tyrese Proctor）之后的第三或第四选择。他们最终在当年最重要的篮球比赛之一的四强赛中输给了最终的亚军休斯敦美洲狮队。

尽管有些人认为他会在主教练乔恩·谢尔 (Jon Scheyer) 的带领下再呆一个赛季，但马鲁奇还是做出了加入 NBA 的决定。

他的新秀赛季并不像大多数赛季那样，太阳队的中锋深度阻止了他找到具体的上场时间。尽管如此，他还是在发展联盟附属球队太阳谷队勤奋工作，并充分利用了自己的第一个 NBA 时刻。

耐心最终占了上风。他尚未被任命为首发，但在他的 NBA 职业生涯中第一次获得了稳定的上场时间。无论何时叫到他的名字，马卢奇都依靠谢耶的教训来保持乐观。

“他在篮球场外和篮球场上教给我们很多东西，”Maluach 告诉 ClutchPoints。他确实指导了我们篮球以及我们需要做什么才能被选中。我们遵循了这一点，并且这个食谱奏效了。

“这只是在篮球场外做一个好人，并且互相尊重。这只是他真正强调的简单的事情。”

卡曼·马鲁奇在杜克大学的经历帮助太阳队取得了成功

对于马鲁奇来说幸运的是，他在太阳队有一位杜克大学校友格雷森·艾伦。诚然，他们在两个完全不同的时代打球：阿伦和主教练迈克·沙舍夫斯基一起打球，马卢阿赫和谢耶一起打球。

艾伦的任期以 2015 年全国冠军的胜利为标志。 Maluach 没有那么幸运，但他已经接近山顶了。

这两支球队之间有一个共同点吗？获胜文化保持不变。赢得全国冠军或参加这些项目的球员很快就会将这些习惯转化为 NBA。

太阳队管理层在交易截止日交易了三线中锋尼克·理查兹后，将他们的鸡蛋放在了马鲁奇篮子里。

他在周四对阵芝加哥公牛队的比赛中获得了第一次机会。这场比赛的表现很糟糕，在 12 分钟内只得到 2 分、4 个篮板和 4 次失误。 24小时后，故事就完全不同了。他打出了职业生涯最高的 5 次盖帽，目前在单场盖帽次数上领先所有新秀。他得到四分和四个篮板，还有一次助攻。但最突出的是信心。

周日，他得到 4 分、9 个篮板、2 个盖帽，得分+10。

虽然学习乔丹·奥特的体系以及球员的倾向可能很困难，但弄清楚心理游戏却是一件很困难的事情。 Scheyer 将游戏的这一元素植入到 Maluach 的 DNA 中。

“这真的和 NBA 一样。不是比赛方面的，而是准备工作、心理准备，”Maluach 向 ClutchPoints 谈到他获得的倾向时说道。无论是饮食还是习惯，都和NBA真的很像。这确实让我为此做好了准备。”

卡曼·马鲁奇 (Khaman Maluach) 知道杜克大学篮球处于有利位置

就在一年前，蓝魔队赢得了 ACC 锦标赛并一路进入四强。在弗拉格、克努佩尔和马鲁阿奇三人的帮助下，三头怪物竭尽全力。

事实上，在那场比赛中，马鲁阿奇在杜克大学篮球队中表现出色，在进入休斯顿之前看起来就像是小菜一碟。由于所有这些玩家都离开了，该计划被认为是倒退了一步。

插入新生卡梅伦·布泽尔，他有资格获得美联社年度最佳球员以及其他奖项。以赛亚·埃文斯和帕特里克·恩贡巴等人在整个赛季都带领蓝魔队取得了进步。

因此，他们在进入各自的分区锦标赛中处于有利位置。凭借累积 29 胜 4 负的战绩，并且可以说是最全面的球队，他们有理由赢得这一切。

任何事情都有可能发生，但杜克大学看起来是赢得 ACC 冠军的热门人选。

尽管太阳队将在 ACC 锦标赛和疯狂三月期间进行六场客场之旅，但马鲁奇将随时关注他的表现，并对将全国冠军带回家乡充满信心。

“他们确实拥有赢得一切所需的一切，”Maluach 向 ClutchPoints 解释道。 “他们确实在我的名单上名列前茅，（他们）是我名单上的第一名，所以我真的很喜欢整个三月，而且我一如既往地支持杜克大学。”

PHOENIX – Inside the chaotic nature of the NBA season lies a Duke basketball family tone. Players in the program constantly refer to it as ‘brotherhood,’ and no one feels it quite like Phoenix Suns rookie Khaman Malooch.

Duke has a high level of success, consistency and a legitimate championship expectation every year, and one Maluach believes is more than attainable in the 2025-26 campaign.

“I don’t think there’s anyone here (on the Suns) that’s gone to a school that’s actually going to win the (NCAA men’s basketball) national championship,” Maluch joked to ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview before Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

“Whether it’s Kentucky, or Michigan, or Villanova, or Marquette.”

As soon as Maluch mentioned Marquette, fellow center Oso Ighodaro, who went to Marquette, looked at him and repeated, “What did you say?” Maluch kept his comments to himself, but he let out a light laugh shortly thereafter.

Khaman Malooch’s journey with Duke basketball

Let’s take a trip back one calendar year.

The No. 10 overall pick spent only one season with the Blue Devils. Maluch played in 39 games and averaged 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21.2 minutes per game.

He was primarily the third or fourth option behind Cooper Flagg, Con Knueppel and sometimes Tyrese Proctor. They lost to the eventual runner-up, the Houston Cougars, in the Final Four in one of the premier basketball games of that year.

Although some thought he would stay with head coach John Scheyer for one more season, Maluch decided to join the NBA.

His rookie season did not go like other seasons, where the Suns’ center depth prevented him from finding solid playing time. Still, he worked diligently with G-League affiliate Valley Suns and made the most of his first NBA moment.

Ultimately patience won. He has not been named the starter, but has received consistent minutes for the first time in his NBA career. No matter when his name was called, Maluach relied on Scheyer’s lessons to maintain his optimism.

“He taught us a lot off the basketball court and on the basketball court (lessons),” Maluch told ClutchPoints. He really walked us through basketball and what we needed to do to get drafted. We followed him and the recipe worked.

“It’s just being a good person off the basketball court, too, and just respecting each other. It’s just simple things that they really put a lot of emphasis on.”

Khaman Maluach’s time with Duke aided his Sons’ success

Luckily for Maluach, he has a fellow Duke alumnus on the Suns in Grayson Allen. Granted, they played in two completely different eras: Allen with head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Maluach with Scheyer.

Allen’s tenure was highlighted by the 2015 national championship win. Maluach was not as lucky, but he got close to the top of the mountain.

The one common denominator between those two teams? The winning culture remains the same. For guys who have won national championships or been part of those programs, their habits translate immediately to the NBA.

The Suns’ front office put their eggs in the Maluach basket after dealing third-string center Nick Richards at the trade deadline.

He got his first chance on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. It was a tough performance, posting only two points, four rebounds and four turnovers in 12 minutes. 24 hours later, a completely different story. He posted a career-high five blocks, which currently leads all rookies for most blocks in a game. He had four points and four rebounds with one assist. But it was confidence that came through.

On Sunday, he had four points, nine rebounds, two blocks and a +10 in the box score.

While Jordan Ott’s system can be difficult to learn, as well as the players’ tendencies, figuring out the mental game is quite a struggle. It was that element of play that Scheyer instilled into Maluch’s DNA.

“It was really similar to the NBA. Not game-wise, but preparation, mental preparation,” Maluch said of the instincts he picked up from ClutchPoints. Whether it’s food or habits, it’s really similar to the NBA. It really prepared me for this.”

Khaman Malouch knows Duke basketball is in good shape

Exactly a year ago, the Blue Devils won the ACC Tournament and made the Final Four. With the trio of Flagg, Knueppel and Maluach, the three-headed monster did everything they could.

In fact, Maluach was in rarefied air with Duke basketball during that tournament, making the run to Houston seem like a cake walk. Since all those players left, it was believed the program needed to take a step back.

Other awards include freshman Cameron Boozer, who has a legitimate case for AP Player of the Year. Guys like Isaiah Evans and Patrick Ngongba have lifted the Blue Devils up all season.

As a result, they are in great position entering their respective conference tournaments. With a cumulative 29-4 record and arguably the best team, they have a case to win it all.

Anything can happen, but Duke looks like a favorite to win the ACC.

Although the Suns will be on a six-game road trip during the ACC Tournament and March Madness, Maluch will be eyeing any moment and is confident of bringing home a national championship.

“They really have what it takes to win everything,” Maluach told ClutchPoints. “They’re really high on my list, (they’re) my number one on my list, so I’m really ready for the whole month of March, and I’m rooting for Duke as always.”
