Even though she's a small forward, Agot Makeer said NBA legends Kevin Durant and Steph Curry influenced her game the most while growing up. "I think my strength and is my versatility is what makes me different ,” Makeer told Kentucky.com. “I can play one through five and can guard one through five. So, I think it’s just me being able to do different stuff on the court. Those are things that both of those guys can do – showcase their versatility.” And those that follow Makeer closely can see the comparisons. "Her size, her length and her intelligence in the game are her strengths," said Richard Nurse, who coached Makeer for the Kia Nurse Canadian Elite EYBL program. "She's also a great teammate. She talks, she communicates with the athletes. She plays well, she’s always helping all her teammates out.” Makeer is originally from Fargo, North Dakota, but was raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She averaged 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists and also earned MVP honors in her high school championship game as a junior.
