Arizona State’s tough, two-way frontcourt catalyst
Tapley has been the kind of forward coaches trust when games get heavy: she scores efficiently, rebounds hard, and brings a defensive edge that helped Arizona State during its upset run over elite opponents. In the 2019-20 season, she led ASU in scoring and rebounding while also ranking near the top of the team in steals, showing a blend of physicality, activity, and versatility that goes beyond box-score volume. Her value is as a high-motor, battle-tested glue player who can fit a competitive team that needs toughness, consistency, and production in pressure moments.
