Samford freshman Carla Baguda is emerging as a high-efficiency frontcourt piece
Carla Baguda is a 6-foot-2 freshman forward for Samford who has been productive early in 2025-26, scoring efficiently while contributing on the glass and as a shot blocker. She has shot 56.1% from the field on the season and is averaging 2.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, with a 1.1 blocks-per-game profile cited in postseason capsule coverage.[5][10][11] What makes her intriguing is the combination of size, rim protection, and low-usage efficiency—she looks like a useful fit for teams needing a mobile, defense-first interior player who can impact possessions without needing touches.[1][11]
