Harris has looked very comfortable and confident back playing with Creekside during June in the games I have watched her play. She is one of the more skilled guards in the 2028 class and with her confidence high, she has been aggressive and efficient scoring the ball. In Athens, Harris went after defenders she felt like she could take in isolation situations and scored the ball impressively from three and off the dribble scoring at the rim. Harris did not pound the air out of the ball, instead got into the lane or to the elbows with only the amount of dribbles necessary. She hit one fadeaway jump shot in the middle of traffic off a spin move that was especially impressive. She is another player who has earned multiple offers recently with her excellent play during AAU leading up to June, that list will continue to grow with performances like she had on Sunday.

Harris is player who has been quietly racking up the interest and scholarship offers of colleges like Coppin State as she has helped lead the Legacy 16U P32 squad to a very impressive Spring and start to the Summer. Harris has excellent fundamentals on the offensive end where she is very effective scoring the basketball. She has near perfect form on her jumpsuit and has the ability to create the necessary space to get her shots off, while also making continued improvements getting to the basket off the dribble. She did a great job facilitating the offense for her team when I watched the play at Select Events Live at Lakepoint against a very good East Tennessee Air team with college guards she was matched up with.

Maliha looked confident and comfortable playing for FBC United and Coach Pitts. I have seen Maliha play a number of times and know from just her pregame shooting regimen that this is a kid who understands the importance of repetition and understand her role as a sniper shooting the basketball for her teams. Harris has a very quick release and is almost always squared up to the basket when she shoots the ball. If the space is there and she gets it off clean, every shot she takes looks like it is going in. She has worked hard and added a very good midrange aspect to her game where she utilizes shot fakes from three to get her defender off the ground before taking one or two dribbles to get to one of the elbows or the free throw line and pulling up for two. Harris is a very cerebral player who values the ball and makes very good decisions. She will continue improve and be a very solid division one prospect by the time her senior season rolls around.

I had the chance to watch Maliha, along with Sydnee Hunter Sydnee Hunter 5'6" | PG/CG State GA and Jacy Mitchell Jacy Mitchell 5'3" | CG/PG Creekside | 2027 State GA , go through a short, but intense workout the night before the Cherokee Invitational in North Carolina. The three were locked in and all business as they went through the different drills and their shooting routines. After Creekside lost Cece Dennis, the top ranked Junior in Georgia and their unquestioned leader, the season could have been lost. These three did not let that happen and each could easily be on this team. I look forward to watching all three this Spring/Summer and next year. Maliha was my choice as she averaged 16 points per game and shot the ball over 40%. She plays with quit confidence and operates like a real shooter. She moves very well without the ball and is always ready to shoot. She has great form and almost always gets her shoulders squared up to the basket when shooting. She knows what spots on the court she likes and capitalizes on her opportunities to score even against heavy defensive pressure. Her play not only earned her spot on this team, but her state ranking will be going way up the next round of rankings.

Maliha had an exceptional game against the defending state champions in North Carolina from Lake Norman and proved why she is one of the best guards in the sophomore class in Georgia. Harris is an excellent shooter from deep and when the defense closed used shot fakes consistently to get around them to score. She was especially effective taking one or two dribbles after the fake to get to the elbow or rim. Harris plays with a lot of poise. Harris did a nice job of creating her own shot without forcing bad ones or turning the ball over. Defenders from Lake Norman had a hard time staying in front of Harris as she utilized a number of impressive offensive moves off the dribble.
