Wow! Wow! This young lady (Napheesa Collier) is going to be a star of the brightest magnitude both on and off the basketball court.
On the Court: Long basketball frame + silky smooth movement -almost effortless-with and without the ball. Great reflexes always moving to improve her position (offensively and defensively) & reacts faster to the ball than anyone on the court. At times, it is almost like the ball finds her, but this happens way too often to be coincidence. High energy-literally the last one to get tired. Ultra-competitive hates to lose be it bingo or getting buckets.
Off the Court: So much poise, articulate, beautiful. Instant role model from the very first sentence. Napheesa Collier on Making on being selected to McDonald’s ALL- American team: “It is definitely an honor; I have been looking forward to this since I was a little girl. I would like to thank my trainers, coaches, and parents for helping me get there.”
One last striking observation. Napheesa Collier is equally willing and skilled enough to be batman-star- or Robin-supporting cog- Pippen or Jordan if you will.
