MaLaysia Fulwiley, a key guard for South Carolina’s Final Four women’s basketball teams the past two seasons, entered the transfer portal. She averaged 11.7 points per game this season.
She has limited minutes, and a new guard is incoming, the dynamic scorer is ready for a bigger spotlight. Fulwiley is a hometown kid who grew up in the area.
What MiLaysia Needs to Improve On to be Better
Simply spending more minutes on the court doesn’t automatically lead to better development, especially if you’re repeatedly making the same mistakes without learning from them. Anyone who’s played a sport knows that true growth comes not just from game time but fundamentally begins during practice.
While MaLaysia possesses significant talent, she remains a risk, as her potential is as high as her current performance is inconsistent. Therefore, she may not secure a starting position next season unless she puts in a substantial amount of effort during the off-season.
Fulwiley’s Departure from South Carolina
It seemed inevitable that this would occur once they acquired guard Ta’Niya Latson. Latson offers superior scoring compared to Fulwiley, without the defensive errors and turnovers that have been frustrating.
It’s hard to watch a player like MaLaysia Fulwiley depart following a difficult loss in the national championship. Entering the transfer portal is a significant decision for any athlete, and it will be intriguing to see what her next steps will be.
