Arizona’s gritty 3-and-D forward with pro-level polish
Sam Thomas stood out at Arizona as a high-motor wing who could stretch the floor, defend multiple positions and deliver in big moments, including a career-high six threes in a 20-point Senior Day outburst in 2022. She also earned AP WNBA All-Rookie Team honors after going undrafted in 2022 and sticking with the Phoenix Mercury, which points to real toughness, adaptability and pro-ready defense. For a team needing a disciplined, low-drama connector who competes hard and spaces the court, Thomas is exactly the kind of fit coaches trust.
