Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3126062, member: 250"] Phee's time with the USA team last summer sure didn't hurt her. Reeve was sorta holding her breath during the draft. I hope this is not repetition. "Reeve said Collier’s versatility, consistency and understanding of basketball’s “little things” will help her fit into a talented and experienced Lynx roster. “She’s long, she knows how to play, she has some upside," Reeve said. "She’s going to be able to play on the perimeter as well as in the post. And just a terrific person. That’s something that we value as well.” "Reeve said she’ll decide in the coming weeks whether to use Collier mostly at power forward, where Minnesota already has four-time All-Star Rebekkah Brunson, or at small forward, where she appeared during USA Basketball exhibition games. “People ask us where are we going to play her," Reeve said. "We’ve got to get our group together and figure out who’s going to be best where. [B]I can just tell you Napheesa’s going to be on the court. It doesn’t matter where.”[/B] Phee has to be happy with that, huh?
