The MVP of the game was German combo guard Malik Muller, an extremely strong, long and fairly athletic player who looks very mature from a physical standpoint despite being only 16-years-old.
He can shoot the ball from the perimeter despite not getting much arc on his shot, something that didn't stop him from draining four of his six 3-point attempts in the actual game, mostly in catch-and-shoot fashion. He took the ball aggressively to the rim, relying heavily on his superior strength to get the job done, and even posted up. He also made plays defensively. It was certainly the 16-year-old's day in Madison Square Garden. He scored 21 points on 8-15 shooting, something he'll surely remember for a long time.
