About Qayden
Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
It was more of the same from the No. 2 overall player in our MD/DC 2026 rankings in their season opening win over Winston Salem Christian. The 6-foot-6 southpaw went for 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting while pulling down eight rebounds in the 72-63 victory. Samuels’ long-range shot wasn’t falling at the rate that it usually does, so he did his damage attacking closeouts and exposing gaps or getting out on the break for finishes at the rim. When things slowed down, I liked how he took his matchup in the mid-post, used his size to his advantage, and knocked down a couple fadeaways jumpers with soft touch.
