scrappy UNC Asheville guard with a defensive edge
In the 2022-23 season, Zaharee Maddox flashed as a low-minutes freshman for UNC Asheville, appearing in four games, scoring four points, and recording three steals—an early sign of a pesky on-ball defender who brings energy and disruption. He entered college with a strong prep résumé as a 5-10 guard who averaged 18 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 steals, and 4.0 rebounds in high school, plus a comeback story after missing his freshman year to injury. If you want toughness, speed, and a guard who can tilt momentum without needing the ball, he’s the kind of player coaches love to sneak into a rotation.
