Sweet...take a good look, Kaleena...that's you someday...

Maya has been on the path to greatness for a long time. Look for her to get even better. The 2016 Olympic team could well be her team.

Maya's likely wearing heels, cutting the height difference from 6" to 3".

If Maya developed a package of good spin moves, she would be truly unstoppable. Especially the 'deep' spin, where you go deep toward the baseline and then spin/roll back to the middle of the lane.

I've seen Tina do it. Bonner does it. You don't have to be a ball-handler at the level of DT to do it, and it's extraordinarily effective. And it's perfectly suited for Maya's particular skills and athleticism. I am hoping she makes the effort to add this to her game soon. If she keeps going to China in the winter, she will have the extra time in the off-season (Feb - May) to not only rest but to add pieces like this to her game. (It's not like she has never made any kind of spin move, but it's not really in her active repertoire.)
