Kaylene Smikle is Maryland’s go-to shot creator with playoff-caliber scoring punch
Smikle is a high-usage guard who can carry an offense, averaging 17.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.2 steals in the 2024-25 season while flashing efficient free-throw shooting and two-way activity for Maryland.[1][2] What separates her is more than the box score: she has proven she can explode in big moments, including a 36-point game against Washington and a strong NCAA Tournament run, and she brings a competitive, downhill mindset that fits teams needing a primary scorer who also competes defensively.[8][13][17]
