Faye Sampson Faye Sampson 5'8" WA was an intriguing surprise as I watched her throughout the showcase. What impressed me most was her footwork, both when working inside and when facing up to the basket. Faye has a very quick first step, and when you combine that with her size and quickness, she becomes a difficult matchup for defenders. She does an excellent job using her footwork to create advantages and get herself into scoring position.

Faye was also impressive on the glass, doing a great job rebounding and blocking out while using her physicality to make things difficult for opponents. Her strength and ability to finish against taller players really stood out. She also had several and-one finishes, showing that she can absorb contact, stay strong and finish under pressure. But what impressed me most was her quickness around the rim—she can make quick moves in tight spaces and finish before defenders have a chance to react.

Faye’s combination of size, strength, quickness, footwork and physicality makes her an intriguing player with the tools to create matchup problems on both ends of the floor.
