Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3210951, member: 1220"] In Texas's team picture she is standing next to a player who is listed as 6'3" and there is another player listed as 6'4" standing one player away from her. Using the straight line of the backboard as a gage, the 6'4" player looks taller than Collier. Collier looks a slight bit taller than the 6'3" player listed player standing next to her. Collier appears to be a height between the two. She is not 6'5". If you have been following basketball for any length of time, you must realize that a lot of players fudge on their listed height to fool evaluators. Who knows if the heights listed for her teammates are even correct. Most players when the fudge always list themselves as taller. Besides that, the top of the head really means very little. What counts is their standing reach. That having been said, watching the 3x3 games she certainly did not play like she was 6'5" under the basket. like Princeton's Bella Alari who is only listed as 6'4". Now Alari was dominant in the post. Colier mostly played on the perimeter. Even offense aside Collier did not defend the paint as Alari did and she was not quick enough to defend against perimeter players. She needed either to be quicker or taller. [/QUOTE]
