A report on Sayvia Sellers from Washington (via The Athletic). She will present a significant challenge to Stanford's defense.

Twenty-three players are averaging at least 20 points per game this season, led by Crooks at 27.8. Washington’s Sayvia Sellers squeaks in with 20.3, and the Huskies have needed all of that production, especially in a five-point win over Green Bay. Sellers was the lone bright spot in Washington’s loss against USC (and that’s saying something since she shot 7 of 23 from the field) and dialed up the efficiency against the Phoenix to avoid the upset.

Sellers does so much for the Huskies’ offense. She brings the ball up and initiates possessions, but she also is constantly moving when she gets off the ball. She is always weaving at the top of the key, relocating and setting screens. The movement benefits her, of course, but it’s a lot of energy to expend, particularly because Washington also relies on her to call her own number at times. There aren’t many scorers who can duck in the post and also hit crossover, stepback 3-pointers.

The Huskies haven’t exactly proven anything yet this season. They lost their only big test to the Trojans, and their win over Green Bay, though exciting, need not have been that close. But they have a go-to option in Sellers, who makes it hard to bet against their ceiling.
