Makayla impressed with her performance at the PGH Freshman Showcase, showing a promising blend of size, strength, and skill. She’s a powerful post player who can stretch the floor with a smooth shooting touch from both mid-range and beyond the arc. Her motor stood out as she consistently hustled for loose balls and stayed active on both ends. With her physical tools and growing versatility, Makayla has a huge upside—and after this showing, she won’t be flying under the radar much longer.

This was my first time ever seeing Makayla play, and she impressed with her potential while competing for Team 10 at the PGH Freshman Showcase. She’s a strong post who can step out and knock down shots, showing solid range with both her mid-range jumper and outside stroke. Makayla also played with great effort, diving on the floor for loose balls and staying active throughout the day.
