Makaiya Thomas brings steady guard minutes and a low-mistake profile to Defiance
In the 2025-26 season, Makaiya Thomas is a reserve guard whose game leans on composure and efficiency more than volume: 18 games, 6.6 minutes per game, 1.1 points, 0.7 assists, and 0.6 turnovers per game, with a 1.1 assist-to-turnover ratio[4]. That small-sample profile suggests a player who can handle the ball, keep the offense organized, and avoid self-inflicted errors, while her preps profile lists her as a 5'6" guard[11]. If a team wants a compact, steady backcourt piece rather than a high-usage scorer, she fits the “reliable connector” mold.
