Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3815568, member: 2117"] I think she's pretty darn skilled offensively and is arguably the best offensive post in the country. Most of her buckets aren't overpowering others as much as she gets great positioning, provides a huge window for guards to feed her the ball, has great length and catches everything thrown to her and finishes well. She rarely bulldozes players on the offensive end. She also takes (and makes) a lot of faceup jumpers, has quick feet for someone her size and can finish over either shoulder. Watch some of last year's highlights and you'll see she's much less of a power player than people realize.

Im not throwing around the word generational, but she'd be either the #1 or #2 pick if all collegiate players were eligible for the draft today. To be fair I think only one poster on here has called her generational or consistently implied that. [/QUOTE]
