Not one to put up glittering numbers, but Maryna does make an impact even though it doesn’t always show up. Particularly on the defensive side of the ball, Yuzhda has a knack for making those she’s guarding uncomfortable. Maryna is physically intimidating down low and even has the ability to guard outside on the perimeter too. She’s liable to force some form of turnover through the course of the game.

“If looks could be deceiving” is an expression that could describe Maryna! As the showcase began, she was setting solid, thorough on-ball and off-ball screens that set her teammates up for success. Yuzhda then quickly transitioned while finding her groove on the court. That unforeseen range swiftly became on display. Not sure if Maryna missed any 3-pointers in live action play all day. She stretched the floor with deadly long-range jumpers that deflated the defense. A real tough cover for any big that wasn’t expecting the 3-pointers to start flying. Altoghter Yuzhda was impressive on the day and makes an intriguing prospect in the ’26 class.
