Mak was a factor from the opening tip, using her length to out-reach defenders and secure early touches in the paint. She controlled the glass, turning rebounds into efficient put-backs and consistently converting second-chance opportunities into points.

Mak delivered a standout performance, dropping 18 points for Copper Hills. Her hands have taken a major step forward—she’s catching cleanly off the pass and securing rebounds without hesitation, then going right back up to finish. Her touch around the rim has softened, and her shooting accuracy has seen a noticeable jump. She’s trending in the right direction and profiles as a strong developmental pickup for a college program looking for a high-upside forward who’s just beginning to tap into her potential.

Mak showed that being a post player doesn’t mean staying anchored in the paint waiting for touches. She was active and engaged in every possession—setting solid off-ball screens, creating space with on-ball picks, and sprinting down the floor to make herself an outlet for transition passes. Her timing on the pick-and-roll was impressive, slipping into open lanes and finishing strong at the rim multiple times.

Mak’s ability to seal off defenders and use her frame to finish through contact has taken a big leap since the spring. She’s establishing deep position in the paint and converting efficiently once she gets the touch. Copper Hills hasn’t had a true post presence in a few seasons, so it’ll be interesting to see how the offense evolves now that they’ve got a legitimate center who can anchor the block and draw attention inside.
