competed with poise and bite — pressuring the ball, then organizing the next action. Defensive activity showed in lanes and help recoveries; hustle possessions extended plays. Playmaking under pressure stayed decisive, and shotmaking arrived when rotations were late. Composure plus compete separated him.

Read EvaluationMatthew Champion | Prep Hoops Scout
Zakai is an aggressive, tenacious combo guard that is always involved on both ends of the floor. He takes risks on defense in a great way, more often than not racking up steals and extra possessions for his team without getting into foul trouble. He’s a true two-way guard with how effective he is on the offensive end as well. His pullup jumper is solid as a rock, and he has the speed and vision to tangle up the toughest defenders on his way to the bucket.

, 5–9-point guard that is just an extreme pest on defense. Zakai starts guarding you when you walk into the gym. Quick hands, quick feet. Never seems to let the opponent passed him. Offensively takes the ball aggressively to the basket.
