Shes a hustler and can space out the floor. Shes quick to find a weakness in the defense and exploit it. Attacks the basket very well and the physicality of the game doesn’t phase her. Very high IQ on both ends of the floor.

Safo is an extremely skilled player who can effectively play 1-4. She can blow by her initial defender and then euro step around the secondary defender scoring the basket rather easily. Shes racking in 17.6 points, 3.1 assists, 10.2 rebounds and 4.6 steals per game. Her stats show in black and white how good of an overall player she is but watching her live you can truly see how impactful of a player she is. She moves with purpose and sees the court at a high level.

A strong patient dribbler that will make a move and get right to the basket for the finish. Strong on ball defender. Gifted rebounder who scored well off second chance points. She works great in transition, can see the floor well while being contested. Finished the game I viewed with a 16 point and 11 rebound double double. Safo continues to prove to be a top 2027 prospect in Southern Arizona.

Daphne is a double-double waiting to happen. She battles inside, a lot of times against taller players, but she still produces. Her energy allows her to have a big impact on the boards as well as on the defensive side of the court.
