Samuels a Top Performer at NBPA Top-100 Camp
On3’s Jamie Shaw found Qayden Samuels one of the top performers at the NBPA Top-100 Camp this past june:
“Qayden Samuels is a confident shot-taker. The lefty has good positional size, pushing 6 feet 5 inches and having nice length. His motor was fluid, and his shot-making was up and down, but his ability to find a clean look and soft touch was intriguing for the four-star.”
