Read EvaluationDevin Record | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Baylee was great for Chiawana last season during her first season playing there. Maldonado is a great shooter and fits well with a stacked Chiawana team that could be poised for a big run late in the season. She defends well and is able to guard multiple positions.
