Who knew Pheesa can sky?

Honestly, I think it was the camera angle.

There's undoubtedly some of that, but not much. The camera is probably a couple feet off the ground (we often see cameramen/press sitting behind the baskets), of order 100 feet away, so it adds an inch per foot to the apparent height. She appears to be pretty close to the basket, rather than being two inches below the rim, she's 4-5" below.

Don't forget that she's 6-1 and has the arms of someone at least a couple inches taller, plus she's very athletic. I'd expect her to play pretty close to the rim. I bet she can dunk a ball not too much smaller than a basketball.

It's not the camera angle, it's not her long arms, long shorts or her hair cut. It's something that all of you have simply over looked. Collier's leaping ability is aided by an external dynamic.
Mars Blackmon tipped us off about Michael Jordan's ability to jump, dunk and block shots back in the 1980's. That same dynamic is present today in Pheesa's game. Remember what Blackmon said? Here's a subtle reminder. it's...............

May be the angle but looks to be very close to the rim.

Not the angle. This is the Duquesne game, I think. If so, I remember one play in which a husky skied for a rebound and some "oohs" where heard. Figured it was Gabby, but, surprisingly to me, it was Collier. So yea, she has it in her.

She is WNBA ready and just playing a different game this year. Pro scouts are hoping she declares this year. She would compete for that 1st pick because the scouts already know her game is suited to them.

Yup - low altitude earth orbit...

On a serious note, I did notice Naphessa sky for a rebound in Toronto, in a way I had never seen before. I was startled, in a happy way.

Did others, who know more than I, see this?

I saw it. At first I thought it was Gabby. But I've made that mistake before. She gets up every once and awhile and surprises me.

I think all of you are focused on the wrong thing-the camera angle. Take a close look at how far NC's heel is off the floor. I estimate a good 12 to 18 inches. You can't doctor that in a picture.

Regarding the ND fan, I have watched the 4th qtr of that game a few times and Pheesa dominated the boards with a little help from M Walker. Not sure what game he was watching! Did Mr. or Mrs Collier steal your dog?
