Zaria’s size, length, mobility, and athleticism were unmatched at the PGH Michigan College Tour IV. She dominated for Kia Nurse Elite EYBL, led the charge in the Championship Game, and turned heads in the process. Zaria batted down a pass in the backcourt, scooped up the steal, and switched hands to score with her left. She used a quick crossover to drive by her defender and finished with good touch at the rim. Zaria looked determined and played like she knew nobody was going to stop her from getting to the basket. She used a pocket dribble, exploded through a gap, muscled through contact aggressively, and capped off the drive with an athletic layup. Zaria moved laterally with quick feet to stop dribble penetration and rotated from help to block shots. She muscled her way through contact on her way to the basket and used a euro-step to score a left-handed bucket. Zaria used her size to back down a guard, then spun to score with her left at the rim. She has the skills and versatility to play inside or on the perimeter. Zaria dominated, earning 16U MVP and First Team All-Tournament honors.

Zaria, an athletic forward for Kia Nurse, had a great day Saturday at the MI College Tour Northwood, showing her ability to impact the game with relentless energy and pressure at the rim. She consistently attacked off the dribble, getting downhill and drawing contact, often living at the free throw line as a result of her aggressive drives. Zaria also created opportunities for her teammates, using her penetration to collapse defenses and set others up for clean looks. On both ends of the floor, she stayed active and engaged, competing defensively and making her presence felt throughout the day.
