steady guard with early upside, now sidelined by injury
In the 2024-25 season, Peyton McCabe gave Drake a low-usage, efficient backcourt option, averaging 1.4 points and 1.0 assists in 9.0 minutes across 25 games, while showing the kind of ball-security and composure coaches like in a rotation guard.[1] Her calling card coming out of Skutt Catholic was shooting touch and feel—she set the school’s single-game scoring record with 37 points and reportedly hit over 40% from three across her varsity career, which hints at real spacing value if her role expands.[2] The big caveat: Drake reported in January 2026 that she suffered a significant ankle injury and was out indefinitely, so any fit conversation has to include durability and recovery status.[3]
