Reeves is as smart as they come. They will work it out. I am more concerned with the Chicago Sky usage but time will tell.

He drafted Lou to space the floor, stretch the defense, and shoot the three. It was only in training camp that he increased her role. Lou is all about stepping up and improving her game. We'll see.

Let's look at her and see where she is and how she has developed at the halfway mark (17 games) of the season. It's hard to draw any conclusions after only 1 game. She's being asked to play both the 3 and the 4, so she's trying to learn 2 positions, and she will improve and get better everyday.

Please understand that Napheesa Collier is "pure cream". You know what cream always does. She'll adjust her game to the WNBA just like she made adjustments going from high school to college. Just give her time. :cool:

She just has to adjust back to what she was doing in high school. That should be a lot easier than it would for a player who has been a post player her whole basketball career.

Yeah, she was listed as a guard/forward when she came to UConn. But I'll admit I just LOVE to watch her work close to the basket, both on offense and defense. Seeing that LOOONG arm pop out above the fray to get the rebound never gets old.

Key Takeaways From The Lynx’s Scrimmage Against The Chinese National Team

On Wednesday night, the Lynx took on the Chinese National Team in a scrimmage at Target Center. The game was a fun one, with the Lynx winning 94-53 and Lynx members getting a chance to see some great action from Lynx regulars as well as a few players who probably won’t play as much when the...

Napheesa Collier Has Improved: The Lynx’s first preseason game against the Washington Mystics was a bit of a tough one for Collier. She demonstrated in Wednesday’s scrimmage that she’s working extremely hard to learn the Lynx’s system. She moved around the court very well, found her teammates in the right spots, fought for rebounds (she had two offensive rebounds for scores) and disrupted the game with her length and intelligent help on defense. The Lynx also want her to work on bringing the ball up after rebounds and she tried it a bit in this contest with good results. She’s going to be a good pro.

Interesting quote. :eek:

“Coach [Auriemma] is way more laid back than people think he is,” Collier says. “It’s kind of CD running the show behind-the-scenes.”

Very true and Geno has said as much himself. The team rules are named "CD's rules" for a reason.

I understand team rules etc but to be honest, I have only heard Naphessa (not just in this article but past video snippets) say he is more laid back than people think.

It is part of her charming even nature.

The Lynx ran that new social media “baby face” filter on Collier. She doesn’t look all that different. ;)

They photoshopped the uni onto Pheesa’s draft night pic, but forgot to take out the white dress, which sticks our below the shorts and under her ball arm.

I mean if you look closely, Anigwe is sporting a new type of undershirt. And Brown and Ogunbowale are sporting necklaces mid-game.
