"Overseas commitments and injury issues have kept some of the players in the national team pool away, but with the 6-foot-6 Fowles, 6-5 Delle Donne and Stefanie Dolson and 6-4 Stewart, it’s been daunting at times for Collier on both ends of the court.
“It’s definitely a challenge because I’m the smallest post player here, but just trying to get around them because I won’t be able to push them out of the way like some of the post players (in college),” Collier said.
In the last couple of seasons, Gabby Williams would usually draw the assignment of guarding the opposing team’s top post player. Azurá Stevens was able to help out in that department during the 2017-18 season but with both of them preparing for their professional debuts, this is a good dress rehearsal for Collier to deal with players who are 3, 4 or 5 inches taller than her.
“I’ve been doing it the last two years now so it’s probably not going to be a lot different, other than not having Gabby or Z (Stevens) on the back side, but more experience and more practice with that is always a good thing,” Collier said."
