Salma Bates brings veteran steadiness, shot-making, and playmaking to Louisiana Tech
In the 2023-24 season, Salma Bates was a reliable two-way guard for Louisiana Tech, appearing in all 33 games with 30 starts while averaging 10.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists, plus 60 made threes and an All-CUSA honorable mention. She’s the kind of connector who can run offense, space the floor, and heat up quickly from deep; in 2023-24 she also showed big-game punch with a game-winning three and a strong late-season scoring profile. If your team wants a poised veteran guard with production, toughness, and trustworthiness, Bates is an easy “yes.”
