Expert Analysis

Cedric Cobb

Prep Girls Hoops Lead Scout

Yazzie is a cerebral, steady wing who understands how to use her body and angles. She plays at a mature pace, rarely rushes, and reads the game well. As her confidence grows — particularly in looking for her own offense — she will become an even more impactful, all-around contributor.

Malia Yazzie Malia Yazzie 5'8" | SF/SG Desert Vista | 2028 State AZ had a terrific performance at the Showcase. She showed the ability to handle the ball well under pressure in the open floor, and she also displayed an excellent shooting touch from all 3 levels. She has a very high basketball IQ for a Sophomore, and she has a confident presence about her. She is a very good defender that can play multiple positions. She will definitely play on the next level and has the ability to be one of the top players in the state at her position if she continues to develop.

Malia is a smooth wing who has good court vision as a passer. She showed that she is more than a shooter and has the ball-handling ability to run the break and set up her teammates.

Malia’s about to get more shine this upcoming season, and she’s earned it. She showed this summer that when you give her the minutes, she’s an outstanding shooter with a high IQ who can really space the floor and make smart plays. She’s one to watch as her role expands.

Malia is a nice wing who is due for a breakout with more opportunities. She has nice size from her wing position and is a dual threat as a shooter and passer. Her confidence in her game is growing, and it shows in her production on the floor.
