Makayla was a standout performer for Zero Star Basketball at the Mother’s Day Classic and turned in another solid outing at the Zero Star Showcase. Her length, mobility, strong frame, and skillful ball-handling create matchup problems for guards and forwards. Makayla penetrates gaps, drives hard to the basket, side-steps defenders, absorbs contact, and finishes effectively off two feet. She has a keen awareness of where defenders are and keeps her head up on drives to dish out assists when the help arrives. Makayla is having a productive junior season for Gwinn. She dropped 19 points, including two triples, in a win against Manistique. Makayla was an All-U.P. Special Mention selection as a sophomore.

Makayla has length and versatility that make her a dynamic prospect. Makayla was an effective downhill scorer during the games. She used a high pick-up move to avoid a defender and score a layup off two feet. Makayla froze her defender with a shot-fake and drove by with a burst for the layup. She knows when to make the extra pass and showed true toughness by playing through pain at the Zero Star Showcase.

Makayla is a versatile combo guard prospect from Gwinn who had a great tournament at the MBA Mother’s Day Classic. She has excellent footwork and balance when she drives to the basket. Makayla finishes well with both hands and makes great passes to teammates when her shot isn’t there. She anticipates passes on defense to create steals and pushes with pace to score transition layups. Makayla has the range to knock down three-pointers, and I’m excited to see her compete at the Zero Star Showcase.

Makayla has length, strength, and versatility that give her a ton of upside. She had a solid day for Zero Star 16U at the Mother’s Day Classic.
