EYBL Notebook: Missouri target Malik Hall leads MoKan with efficiency
WESTFIELD, Ind. — N’Faly Dante was inconsolable.
The MoKan Elite post’s mitts slipped off a rebound, the ball falling into the hands of Las Vegas Prospects forward Edward Turner. Then Dante mistimed a would-be swat, putting Turner on the line late in a nip-and-tuck affair Saturday afternoon.
As Turner prepared to step to the line, MoKan combo forward Malik Hall pulled Dante inside for a few calm words, squeezing his hands on an invisible ball — a subtle reminder of securing the rock before pivoting to fire an outlet pass.
“He’s our guy,” MoKan coach Chris Neff said after the 71-64 loss. “He’s going to lead this team and do a lot the things we need to in terms of coach-on-the-floor stuff.”
