Maddie found ways to contribute on both ends of the floor during Week 1. Defensively, she showed good awareness when reading the action, jumping a passing lane to get a hand on the ball for a deflection. She also provided some rim protection with a block. On the offensive end, Maddie showed that she could step away from the basket and knock down the outside shot. Her ability to make plays defensively while also providing a perimeter scoring option allowed her to contribute in multiple areas.

Maddie is a prospect I was excited to watch in person for the first time at the PGH Michigan Expo. She showed the length/athleticism and basketball abilities that will make her a targeted wing-guard prospect in this class. Maddie was an aggressive downhill driver who demonstrated the ability to attack gaps and get to the basket throughout the day. She took the ball hard to the rim for a layup, changed hands with a good handle, demonstrated confidence as a threat from beyond the arc, stayed active on the glass, and used excellent pivots to protect the ball against reaching defenders. Maddie was a productive member of Team 5, and she looks ready to have a big sophomore season.
