I would say that most female players shot set-shots when shooting from long distance. Terran Condrey from Baylor typically shots a jumper, even from three point range. Sims, Hayden and Madden almost always shoot set-shots from long range.

I previously mentioned Mawadi Mabika, who I can't say I ever saw shoot a set-shot. She always elevated prior to release and I thought had one of the most beautiful jumpers in the history of the women's game. Sheryl Swoopes shot a set/push-shot, as was very typical of almost every female player from west Texas at one time. I am not sure about Nykesha Sales, but my memory seems to lead me to believe that she was a jump shooter and that she almost always elevated on her shot. Taurasi kind of leans more toward a jumper, IMO, but I would have to look at some footage to confirm. Sue Bird seems to shoot a push shot, also.
 
I sort of like the Caroline triple-bank bounce shot where she shoots it out of the stands, it ricochets off a wall and a couple of light fixtures, bounces twice on the floor and then plops in. Now THERE is a shot!

Yes, should be worth 4 points at least.
