About Mallory
Expert Analysis
Brandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Mallory put up modest numbers for the Lady Eagles, but make no mistake about it, she was an integral part of their success throughout her career. She has a strong frame, she doesn’t mind physicality, and she understands how to use leverage to post up and box out. She also has a natural feel for the game, she’s great in the mid-post, and she can step outside and knock down a 3-pointer with comfort. She can play either the ‘4’ or the ‘5’, and she could be a great addition to a small college roster.

16-0 Zionsville has remained near the top of the polls so far this entire season due to consistency throughout their roster. A big part of that has been Mallory, but she might not get the fanfare of their bigger scorers. She is strong, tough-nosed, willing to be physical, and she plays with a nice motor. At the same time, she has a very good understanding of the game, she is skilled facing the basket to as deep as the 3-point line, and she has a craftiness and versatility to her game that’s almost like how a European big would play. She can really help someone at the next level.

Zionsville will likely start the year as a Top-10 team, and Mallory will be a “secret weapon” of sorts for them. While everyone is more focused on our top 2023 power forward, Laila Hull Laila Hull 6'1" | PF Zionsville | 2023 State #49 Nation IN , plus their 2024 shooters, Mallory can operate comfortably around the paint and in the mid-post, and she has the potential to average a double-double. She is a strong kid, she plays with a nice motor, and she’s willing to be physical. But she also has good hands and feet, a solid handle for her position, and she too can knock down jumpers to the 3-point line.

Mallory has made an impact for the Lady Eagles for multiple years now, and it’s her experience that will help them solidify their defense and control the boards on most nights. Mallory has a strong frame, nice length, and she’s a solid all-around athlete with a good motor. She probably looks more like a post, but she hurts opponents primarily from the mid-post. She is an excellent passer, she pursues rebounds from there, and she can knock down shots from 15-feet to the perimeter, if you leave her unattended. She will be an x-factor for them this year.
