Sanford is listed as a shooting guard or small forward, but looked comfortable running the point in 5 v 5 games. She is a highly skilled ball handler who can get to the bucket with ease. Sanford understands how to break down a defense and find open teammates to dish to. Sanford can shoot from beyond the arc as well. She is a tenacious defender who always plays with a high motor.
