GREENWOOD, Ind. – After helping his team to a pair of road victories, Alderson Broaddus junior Malcolm Tatum is spotlighted as the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week.
 
Tatum contributed with balanced numbers across the board as the Battlers have won three straight following a season-opening setback.
 
The talented first-team all-conference guard averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 assists and three rebounds, per contest last week as Alderson Broaddus toppled Virginia Union and Bowie State.
 
Tatum played in 71 of a possible 80 minutes on the floor and shot just under 53 percent from the field (9-for-17) and connected on five three-point baskets. He also sank 14 shots at the free-throw line last week.
 
In a one-point win against Bowie State, Tatum scored 13 of his 23 points at the charity stripe. He handed out for assists and grabbed as many rebounds while also recording a steal.
 
Earlier in the week versus Virginia Union, he was 5-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from long range as part of his 14 points. He also facilitated the offense with five more assists in ABU’s 21-point margin of victory.
