Amaya Smith brings quickness, defensive edge, and long-range upside to Central Michigan
Amaya Smith is a 5-7 guard for Central Michigan who saw limited minutes as a freshman in 2024-25, appearing in 13 games and scoring her first collegiate points on a three-pointer against Concordia (MI). Her appeal is less about raw box-score volume right now and more about guard traits that can translate: speed in transition, defensive pressure, and perimeter shooting upside. High school reports described her as a tough, quick defender with deep range, suggesting a developmental fit for a team valuing energy, pace, and on-ball resistance.[9][14][16]
