Ales Málek

After being teased in his youth for the rattling noise of his undersized shin guards, this humble Czech turned his frustration into an unyielding drive that transformed him into a world-class defensive wall in one-on-ones. Boasting an imposing frame, he dominates the opposition with raw strength and recovery speed, even if his occasionally lackluster defensive IQ makes for unpredictable moments. He remains a lightning-fast rock whose sheer grit makes up for his modest vertical leap.
