About Maya
Expert Analysis
Brazley Barnes | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
An inside-out player who impacted the game in many ways. When Nazareth started making runs, Pereda shut a couple of them down with either an offensive rebound or a three-pointer. She has a great feel for finding open space and moves well without the ball, which makes her tough to guard in the half court. Defensively, she is switchable and can guard multiple positions without issue. The type of player who might not always jump off the stat sheet but keeps making winning plays all game.

Players who have the skillset to be a primary focus, but use it to complement and be a part of the engine, always stand out. Maya is exactly that. She can be a player who creates her own 10+ points, or a player who fills in the roles and ultimately fills up the stat sheet. She’s lengthy, agile, and also plays with 100% effort from start to finish.

Pereda has a ton of potential, and you can tell there is work being put in off the court. On both ends of the court, she is looking to impact the game. She has the length, the motor and basics to get things done. I believe a strong summer is ahead for her.

Waubonsie will be missing a key piece this year, but Pereda could be the perfect fit for that role. She brings a sense of athleticism and confidence that many players her age don’t display on a consistent basis. She can stretch the court, get to the rim, and defend positions 1 through 3.

Pereda has all the tools to be one of the main options for a program: length, sharp fundamentals, and energy that can last a whole game. As her offensive skillset begins to mesh with systems and plays, I believe Pereda will be one of those players who can have multiple huge nights across the stat sheet.
