Anaiah brings a powerful, physical presence for Team Durant ‘s 16U squad. When she lowers her shoulder, defenders struggle to stay in front, often getting pushed out of the play. She crashes the offensive glass hard for second-chance points and finishes strong around the rim. Adding to her versatility, she can also step out and knock down shots from beyond the arc.

Anaiah thrives in the physicality of AAU play, and her performance at the GLP Mixer made that clear. As a well-sized combo guard, she has multiple ways to score but excels at attacking the basket, where her strength and frame give defenders a tough challenge.
On the defensive end, she’s equally imposing—capable of sliding with and staying in front of top-tier guards, making her a two-way threat. This summer will be a key opportunity for Anaiah to cement herself as the starting point guard for her high school team, building on her ability to impact the game on both ends.
