Junior point guard Malcolm McMillan began his basketball career at age five. McMillan enjoys basketball because “it’s fun to play with my teammates.” For the second year in a row, McMillan is the captain of the men’s varsity basketball team. McMillan feels that his leadership skills contributed to his being appointed captain. Coach Tony Martin cited McMillan’s time with the program as the reason for his captaincy and said, “He is the most experienced player in the program.” Martin praised McMillan’s “great attitude” and “hard work.” McMillan’s favorite memory is “playing against the number one player [Greg Monroe] in the nation.” His high ankle sprain at the beginning of this season “slowed him down,” but he is back to his original strength. McMillan hopes to play Division I basketball at the University of Virginia.
