PLAYERS WHO PLAY BIGGER THAN THEIR HEIGHT

[RSHERMVIKES]

I have way too much time on my hands, so I came up with the following list of 8 players, great athletes that play a position bigger then their height. Please add names that you feel belong.
"Their hearts are bigger than their height!"

In no special order:

Gabby Williams 5'11" SF UCONN*
Nina Davis 5'11" SF BAYLOR*
Shakayla Thomas 5'11" SF FSU
Mariya Moore 6'0" SF L'ville
Aerial Powers 6'0" SF MSU*
Chelsea Mitchell 5'11" SF theOSU
Laura Ferreia 5'11" SF SoFL
Anriel Howard 6'0" SF TXa&m*

* = favorites of mine!

Every player mentioned is obviously at least 7'2". Hasn't everyone seen pictures of them standing next to-and towering over-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

 

[Fiftyish]

She isn't on your list and hasn't played in 20 years but Jamelle Elliot was under sized but played big. She was ferocious on the boards as I remember.

 

[BigBird]

No MoJet? Some omission, I'd say.

 

[reno tony]

I would add Lindsay Allen and Courtney Williams (USF) to your list.

 

[Geno-ista]

Barbara Turner played in the paint like she was 6'3"!!! Every second on the court.

 

[Dabber]

Looks like you are looking at forwards in general but MoJet has to be included as a player who plays wwwwaaaaayyyyy above her height

Linnae Harper

Please don't use all caps for subject titles.

 

[alexrgct]

Ariel Hern of Memphis for sure.

BigBird- - -MoJeff is a 5'7" PG playing PG.and other G's mentioned
I'm talking about players at 5'11" to 6' usually a SG size playing a forward position usually reserved for players 6'1" to 6'3"

Geno-ista & Fiftyish- - -
Yes, Barb Turner & Jamelle Elliott were undersized Forwards but I'm talking present day players, not past players.

everybody- - -
Sorry about the all caps title I had CAPS LOCK on and didn't realize it till it came up.

Taller, but Morgan Tuck playing center is another example of undersized players playing bigger than they are. What she does against tall front lines is really impressive.

He had no choice, temery: his exclamation point key was exhausted, and needed a post off to recover....

 

[ScarlettB]

Kahleah Copper 6'1 F/G.

 

[Dillon77]

Maddie Cable is a 5'10" guard who rebounds very well for someone that size and needs to when ND goes to the Brianna Turner + 4-guards....

Shayla Cooper 6'2" PF Ohio State (she plays the post position) She can do it all.
* = favorites of mine!

To me, a "true" big in the post should be at least 6'5". Many of you great post players were under 6'5". I mentioned Cooper from OSU, but there are others. I also like from Brianna Turner from Notre Dame. 6"3" playing the post, and playing it well. She'll be an All-American next year.

Gabby is on track to being one of our leading scorers next season. Outstanding development.

 

[BigBird]

...the following list of 8 players, great athletes that play a position bigger then their height...

Sorry dude. It was unclear whether you meant "plays one position-step* bigger, " or you meant "plays their current position bigger..."

* guard-to-forward-to center, etc.

SORRY!!!

USF's Alisia Jenkins, a slender 6'1" small forward who rebounds like a power forward (avg. 11.7 per game).

When you mention Chelsea Mitchell above, were you thinking of Kelsey Mitchell? Chelsea is definitely a 5'11" player listed as forward, but she really doesn't do much out there for her team, averaging 4 minutes per game and only 13 games played this season. Kelsey is the high scoring 5'8" guard who actually is listed as a guard.

Bria Hartley because this thread has something to do with height and Bria just can't be overlooked.

well, it depends which height your using as her "official", as to whether you can overlook her or not!

Maya plays like King Kong!

 

[Checkmate]

I have no idea who this is ?
