She was the best passer on the floor today, certainly. She was the best rebounder on the floor. She was the primary ball-handler in the fourth quarter (up until PHX started playing a zone). She took people off the dribble, she scored out of the post, she blocked a shot, she had at least one steal---and most importantly-- her team won the game.
I believe she finished with
34/11/8 on better than 50% from the field. The only knock on her today was the fact that she shot below 50% from the line, but she got there more than 12 times, so that's a good sign for the future.
Simply put, she looks like the future of women's basketball. She can literally play all 5 positions at different times in the game, and there is no aspect of the game that she can't dominate in some fashion. She was most valuable today when she was leading the fast break; she really did it all. Add all of those natural basketball abilities to the fact that she is 6'4 and can finish with either hand and she is an absolute match-up nightmare. Forgive me for being so gushing about her potential, but she impressed me immensely today, and if she gets any better than she is now, she could put up legendary numbers. When her jumpshot is falling, she is literally unstoppable, and we're talking about the highest level of women's basketball. It's scary.
NBA related: she's engaged to Sheldon Williams ( which everyone knew already, and probably cringed at) and her brother Anthony plays for the Toronto Raptors
Sorry for the rant.
