Outlook: Madden is versatile in the backcourt with the ability to play point guard, or also off the ball. He entered college as a drive-first player, but has developed into a solid 3-point shooter (44% on 4 attempts per game) who can facilitate off the bounce. He pushes the ball in the open floor, with the ability to pull-up for a jumper or finish over smaller defenders.
Defensively, he can apply pressure, though he’s not exceptional in this regard. Kind of stuck defensively, with average foot speed and length.
Overall, Madden is a smooth guard who can score in variety of ways. But he appears to be a step too slow, lacks an identity offensively (he’s good-but-not-great across the board), and struggles through contact. Madden is a reliable scorer and a main cog in Arkansas’ attack, but he doesn’t distinguish himself in any facet of the game. I don’t see it.
