About Samantha
Expert Analysis
Evan Bell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Sam consistently produced and played great basketball for Ryze Athletics 17U throughout the PGH Great Lakes Region Finals. A mobile 6-footer who can stretch the floor, physically hold her own in the post, and handle the ball is a commodity at the next level. Sam started off strong Saturday, draining threes from the corner and the slot, muscling her way into position with great boxout technique to secure a rebound, then used excellent wall-up technique to force a miss. She takes contact and doesn’t get moved off her spot. Sam continued to impress on Sunday. She made a great dump-off pass to a teammate for an assist, finished strong off two feet, drilled a straightaway three, grabbed an offensive rebound, and blocked a layup attempt in transition.

Her play around the rim got her noticed by our scouts this fall, and she looks to transcend that into a big junior season! She has range from anywhere around the arc, and can finish in the paint. She can beat you anywhere with the ball. Will be fun to track her progress this season.

Love her length and activity with rebounding! She’s the type of player that can do damage both inside and outside, and from multiple positions! Solid from mid-range! And less than a minute later, knocks down a three from the corner! Solid fundamentals! (Below on defense, Featured Photo)

Strong and spindly all-around performer. Can get up and down the floor with ease and is a good pick and roll player. A good player for her age, I anticipate her to keep improving her game. Can also handle the ball and sees her open teammates well. Not a selfish player, shares the ball and does a good job at attacking the rim.
