Turkish-born point guard who brought pace, poise, and playmaking to Virginia
In the 2001-02 season, Liz Sahin was described by Virginia as a true point guard whose first instinct was to organize the offense, push north-south, and make the right read, while still bringing scoring pop and disruptive defense after averaging 15 points, 8 assists, and 5 steals per game at Palm Beach Community College. She also came in with international experience from Turkey’s national team and a reputation for immediate backcourt impact. That mix of control, edge, and veteran feel makes her the kind of guard you care about if you want a floor general who can raise everyone else’s game.
