She’s not the traditional post presence we’ve seen from her sisters. There’s a lot more inside-outside motion to Malmgren’s game. She can catch and shoot, put it on the deck and attack the paint, but has no problem setting up on the block and going to work when the opportunity calls. During The Expo, she rebounded and pushed the pace herself, while also showing a nice touch around the basket. Don’t let the perimeter skill fool you, though. She still has the size, strength and physical presence to dominate around the rim when she wants to. What may separate Reese most is the edge she plays with. She brings a level of intensity and grit every time she steps on the floor that simply can’t be taught. She competes, plays hard and has a game that can impact you in several different ways.

Malmgren continues the steady improvement we’ve seen from her over time, bringing size, strength, and a motor that doesn’t quit. Ranked in the Top 60 in the Class of 2028, Reese can play multiple positions and rebounds with determination while also finishing effectively through contact. A versatile competitor, she runs the floor well and thrives in up-tempo settings. Her toughness and efficiency make her a reliable presence who consistently impacts games.
