Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3067612, member: 7631"] We're lucky to have a team where this is debatable. Each player has her pro-ready points. Lou is a great shooter with the size to succeed in the W. She's improved immensely in the last couple of years in areas necessary to succeed at the next level -- rebounding, playing with her back to the basket. I think her quickness and defense may be suspect in the W. Napheesa may be undersized, but she has great footwork, and she's so strong and athletic that I think she can play the 3 or 4 in the W. Don't forget that she came to UConn as a wing. Her freshman year she played wing quite a bit with Stewie and Tuck on the team. And she shot 43% from downtown her sophomore year. I have no doubt that she can regain the 3-point touch. But I still think she can play the 4 in the pros. Both play with an incredible desire, something that can't be taught. So I'm with the many others who have said that a lot depends on the fit for both players. I would love to see Collier play with Aja and Moriah in Vegas. Or with Stewie et al. in Seattle. Can you imagine being an opponent and breathing a (very brief) sigh of relief if Natasha Howard gets a couple of quick fouls just to have Pheesa come in? [/QUOTE]
