Read EvaluationCharles Foster | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Makayla is becoming a prominent two-way player. She is very fast with the ball once in the open court and has good use of her body to avoid the defense as she approaches the paint. In the half court setting she is best getting to the rim with a multitude of moves but can also knock down the deep ball with time and set feet. Defensively, she has grown the most over the years as she uses her scoring mind to anticipate her opponent’s counter moves, which keeps her sliding her feet and staying locked in.
