SEPT. 24TH, 2019 PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT

MAKIYAH WILLIAMS

TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL (ILLINOIS)

2021 5’11 F Makiyah Williams enters her junior season at Trinity High School with a lot of buzz around her name. After a strong sophomore season, Williams looks ready to lead and capitalize on her growth this summer. Makiyah has the ability to impact both ends of the floor tremendously. Offensively, she gets to the basket easy with her athleticism and long strides. She’s able to use her length to finish over guards, as well as bigs. Her driving ability also opens up shots for her teammates as the defense collapses. Makiyah’s offensive game will continue to soar as she continues to deepen her range and expand her jump shot. Defense is where Makiyah leaves her mark every game! Her ability to guard multiple positions at a high level makes it tough for opposing teams. She dominates smaller guards with her size and quickness and causes problems for bigs with her long arms and high vertical. Her best asset might be her high motor. Williams plays with a sense of urgency for the entire game and it shows as she runs the floor for layups or to get back on defense. She also rebounds the ball very well and is able to start fast breaks, which helps her team get out in transition faster. As she continues to grow her game, Makiyah will be a must get for college coaches.
