Minnesota Lynx Head Coach/General Manager Cheryl Reeve was among one of four WNBA head coaches that spoke during a pre-draft media conference call on Tuesday afternoon. Reeve gave her thoughts on several players likely to be drafted next week.
This is what Reeve said about Napheesa Collier (UConn):
“Napheesa Collier is a tremendous basketball player. My experience with USA Basketball gave me the opportunity to see the things that she can do and how versatile she is, and she’s not limited in terms of the position that she can play. She’s anywhere from — I think at Connecticut, at times she played the 5, but a 4. She’s a little undersized there, but I think she’s shown the ability from a length standpoint and her ability to rebound the ball and deflect. This is a quality basketball player that will have her work cut out for her as a small forward in this league, but I saw her do that for the national team. This is a player that’s going to do well for a long, long time and have a great career in the WNBA.”
