Expert Analysis
Will Armishaw | Prep Hoops Scout
Maiwen, a guard out of Edward Little High School in Maine, continued to expand his game this winter while proving to be one of the top prospects in the MPA. The 6’2″ guard averaged 22.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per game this season, utilizing his athleticism, length, and quickness on both ends of the floor. He’s got a great first step off the bounce, finishes it in a variety of ways around the rim, and has really improved the consistency of his perimeter jumper. Defensively, he can guard any spot on the perimeter and thrives both on the ball and in passing lanes. He’s the type of twitchy athlete that could make an immediate impact at the Division III level, but with a prep year might attract the interest of scholarship level schools.

Maiwen, a senior out of Edward Little, took his game to another level this winter and in doing so, became one of the top overall players in the state. A twitchy athlete with plus length, he was elite in the open floor both as a finisher and as a creator. He was a disruptive defender, both at the point of attack and in passing lanes, and proved capable of both rebounding and blocking shots when coming from the help side. His quickness allowed him to get to the rim as a scorer, but he also showed the ability to make tough shots in the mid-range and from behind the arc on his way to being a 20.0 point per game scorer.

Maiwen, a guard out of Edward Little in Maine, turned himself into one of the most dynamic three level scorers in the state over the last year. Maiwen ended the regular season averaging 22.6 points per game, good for 2nd in all of Class A. The 6’2″ guard is a twitchy athlete that has a quick first step as a driver and the ability to finish above the rim in space. He’s taken his game to another level by developing his perimeter jumper into a consistent weapon. Defensively, he’s an elite defender on the perimeter, where he can be disruptive in passing lanes and keep opponents out of the paint on the ball. He could make a difference at the Division III level, but also appears to be a prospect that could benefit from a post-grad year.

#233 –> #175 (+58)
Maiwen is an extremely intriguing prospect who has improved a ton recently but also has a lot more room for growth. The 6-foot-4 combo-guard has proven to be one of the top public school players in Maine. He has long arms and great size for his position, but he also has an advanced skill set; he can shoot it from the mid range and three, and he has a wiggle to his game that allows him to get into the paint and finish against bigs. He also defends his position effectively and is always playing hard. Most intriguing, though, is the fact that Maiwen looks like he has A LOT of room to grow physically, which could make him a big time college prospect in short order. He could totally be a late-blooming kid.

Maiwen, a senior guard out of Edward Little High School, is a high-level defender that should showcase more of his offensive repetoire this winter. At 6’2″ with long arms, he has great positional size and impresses with his burst and vertical athleticism. He can really guard, particularly in the full-court, creating turnovers at a high clip and making it hard for opposing guards to score. Offensively, he’s at his best when he gets downhill, getting into the paint off the bounce, and scoring over size with his length.

Maiwen, the #234 overall prospect and 44th ranked combo guard, has terrific positional size and great instincts on the defensive end of the floor. He’s an elite on-ball defender that also thrives in the press, using his length and burst to his advantage when making plays in passing lanes. He’s a unique finisher around the rim, benefitting from his length and creativity. On top of that, he’s evolved as a playmaker and also shows the ability to knock down shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations. A late bloomer, he could take advantage of a post-grad year or step into an instant impact role at the Division III level.
