Samaya is more of mover-screener down low in the paint. She truly is a back to the basket post player for the Lady Raiders. She does a really nice job of keeping the ball up high when rebounding it off the glass. Johnson might be better suited in more of a half-court style of play at the college level. Samaya never got many touches this season as the Lady Raiders were a dominant guard heavy team.

Johnson is a true post player for the Lady Raiders down low. She plays with her back to the basket and shows to have a nice set of hands when she receives the ball. Samaya has really transformed her body in the past year and looks to be ready to play at the next level. She really could benefit this season playing with 2 quality guards in the backcourt who could make her life really easy down low with some scoring opportunities.

Johnson once sang the national anthem prior to Keenan’s 2020 3A state championship matchup against Marion at Colonial Life Arena – a game the Raiders won 53-33. It is safe to say that her play is consistently on key. Johnson has also participated in track and field events throughout her career – including the shot put and javelin throw. She too spent her spring and summer with SC Future 17U Black. The bread and butter of what Johnson (who also plays volleyball) gets accomplished occurs via her post play. She plays with a high basketball IQ as she will ensure that she keeps the ball up on the heels of grabbing a rebound – which she does plenty of. Johnson is also not afraid to get physical in the painted area with the paint presence she provides. Keenan will drop down from 3A back to 2A this upcoming season.
