Nicholls guard Malaya Jones brings freshman scoring upside and grit
Malaya Jones is a Nicholls freshman guard who showed early offensive promise in the 2024-25 season, averaging 6.0 points and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 36.3% from the field according to a fan-tracked stat page; Nicholls also lists her as a guard who helped Grayson win a perfect-season state championship in high school, which points to a winning pedigree and competitive edge.[5][1] Her value appears to be speed, shot creation, and toughness more than raw size, making her an interesting fit for a staff that wants a young guard with room to grow and a track record of being part of high-level winning teams.[1][5]
