Hi, I'm Saima Velline and I am currently a Junior in high school. I am small, but feisty. Ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you about my extreme love and commitment for the game of basketball. I have an extremely good work ethic, and will go everything and anything I can to achieve my goals. I work with two individual trainers, attend every camp I am able to, and work for hours and hours on my own. I am a sharp shooter, and lead my team in threes and three-point percentage. I currently am mainly playing the shooting guard position, but am willing and capable to bring the ball down the court.
