Maliyah Maples brings fresh size and upside to Montreat’s front line
As a **freshman** forward for the **Montreat Cavaliers**, Maliyah Maples is an active, developing frontcourt piece whose current value is more about projection than box-score output; ESPN lists her as an active 5'5" forward, but does not yet show college stat production, while Montreat’s roster confirms her 2025-26 status. That makes her most intriguing as a versatile developmental fit: a player to watch for energy, coachability, and growth potential rather than proven production. If your team wants immediate impact, the résumé is still thin; if you want a long-term upside bet, she is worth monitoring closely.[1][2]
