Finley, a 2029 wing for Rockford, showed some promising pieces during Week 2 of the MBA Fall League. The sophomore has good length on the perimeter and uses it effectively on the defensive end, where she showed active hands and the ability to disrupt possessions. Offensively, Finley was at her best when attacking off the bounce. She showed she can get downhill, including a strong rip past her defender that created a lane to the basket for a finish. Her length, combined with her ability to attack off the dribble, gives her a good foundation to continue building on as she gains more experience. Finley is another young player who caught my attention and should be one to watch as she continues to develop with Rockford.

Finley really impressed me during my time watching her play for MBA UA Rise 15U at the PGH MI College Tour III. She scored a high pick-up euro with her left, showed great vision to make a dump-off pass on a drive, and attacked hard downhill to earn free throws. She drove with a burst down the baseline from the corner, spun, and used a fancy step-through pivot to score in traffic. Finley denied an entry pass to a cutter, swiped the ball away, motored up the floor, switched hands, and scored off two. She was active on the boards and made a visible impact on both sides of the ball.

Finley is a talented small forward who brings impact on both ends of the court. Coming from a strong program like Rockford—known for developing high-level talent—she carries that same toughness and skill. Finley plays with confidence, defends with purpose, and knows how to contribute in a variety of ways. We’d be excited to see her compete and showcase her game at the PGH Freshman Showcase.
