Kentucky’s Pro Day is designed to showcase the program’s depth of talent — but this year, one player turned a normal evaluation session into a statement. That player was Malachi Moreno. Standing 7 feet tall with a calm, confident demeanor, Moreno didn’t just impress — he commanded attention. His energy wasn’t loud, his play wasn’t flashy, but everything about him screamed professional. And by the time he walked off the court, one scout summed up the feeling in the building perfectly: “That’s a pro right there.” From the opening minutes, Moreno showed the kind of discipline that NBA teams crave.…
