The fact is I haven't seen him perform at a top level against top level competition. He might not be the sure fire lottery pick some make him out to be as a 1 and done.
He's also the only player to win back-to-back MVP's at the U-17 national tournament. I understand we should watch him play college basketball before saying he's a sure thing first rounder, but Malik isn't worried about whether he is good enough to be a one and done player.

The Harrison twins were Top 10 prospects, I'll leave it there.

And I'm not saying he will or wont be a 1 and done lottery pick, just haven't seen enough in him to be that kind of quick track to the NBA, especially wanting to be a PG so bad and looking much worse than simply playing to score. I think he's afraid if he's seen as a pure SG his stock wont be very high being 6'2-6'3.
Also, I'm sure Malik has the confidence to be a high pick 1 and done, that wasn't my point, my point was, at least his dad, has money on their mind, and now. Being the kind of prospect he is he could be just like Mudiay and bag 1 million playing barely overseas not hurting his NBA stock vs. college where he could vastly kill his stock if he's so dead set on playing PG.
The overseas route makes a ton of sense for him.
