Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2312157, member: 2117"] Nneka only has an inch on Maya. Nneka is a tough draw because she's incredibly strong and physical but also leaps well and is immensely quick with great hands and touch around the basket. In college, probably 80% of her points were on layups and I was always dumbfounded how teams didn't find a way to slow her down when she isn't very tall nor had a varied offensive skill set, but she was always able to get great position and wide open looks. Nneka would be a bad matchup for Maya, ...I think Maya would actually match up better defending Parker since Candace isn't as physical and is more perimeter oriented. Maya rebounds well and would do fine offensively. There are not a ton of teams that boast a frontcourt like Nneka/Parker, so against most teams the Lynx would be fine playing small ball with Maya at the 4. They also have Fowles inside who can help mitigate and size issues. [/QUOTE]
