Some key quotes from the article:
“She’s me pretty much, four years different,” [Maya] Moore said of Stewart, who was last year’s consensus national player of the year and won the Final Four’s most outstanding player award in her freshman and sophomore seasons. “I know I had a lot of confidence coming in after the worlds in 2010, so I know she’ll have the same confidence.”
The reporter: "Moore said she had not fully appreciated Stewart’s talent until being on the court with her. Griner acknowledged being “a fan” and was surprised at Stewart’s wingspan and fluid outside shot."
“The biggest challenge for her is going to be physically to get stronger,” Auriemma said. “That’s the only place where she struggles, when big players start banging her around. I’m seeing things in practice obviously Stewie couldn’t do as a freshman and only did sporadically as a sophomore. She’s doing those things on a daily basis now.”
