What's crazy is that she doesn't even need to score a lot...she'll be at a +22 with 5 points just by being on the floor and contributing in other factors.
Im sorry, but Im happy that not only did the WNBA acquire some ballers, but they got some beauties. Brink , reese , heck even clark. Im sure there are others I missed but, looking forward to seeing what these gals can do.
Weird comparison, aside from being really tall & blocking a lot of shots her play style is nothing like AD’s, Dwight’s or Russ’. Kristaps might be a better analogy.
She is off to a great start; the best rookie out there so far. However, at her size or just in general, nobody is better than A'ja Wilson. I believe this will be true as long as A'ja is in her prime.
She definitely has stood out as clearly the best rookie so far. If i had to rank the top 5 I would put: 1. Brink (needs to cut fouls as you said) 2. Reese (for now) 3. Clark (needs to cut turnovers) 4. Martin (Could legitimacy get 6poy if she is utilized the way she has been all year) 5. Jackson
I expected this from her. The only players I was worried about her playing against were McCowen and Brown and she proved she can hold her own. She is probably the most skilled player I've seen in basketball, male or female and that was going back to her college days. Kiki is too but she's not the shot blocker Brink is.
Different kind of player. AD’s much more of a classic big. Great interior scorer, defender & rebounder but limited shooting range. Brinks plays more like Kristaps.
Just imagine what she would do if she added another 10lbs. Of muscle onto that frame… Shaq 2.0… Right now she has the looks a physique of a runway model, which is great for her side gigs, but her primary focus should be the day job, which will bring in the endorsements.
Shaq was freakishly huge. He’s a legit seven-footer who weighed about 280 as an NBA rookie and he was pretty lean back then. Plus he also wasn’t exactly known for his shooting. Brink’s a stretch 4/5. I agree she could stand to put on some muscle, though. She’s got nice handles $ a great spin move in the paint & is a legit three-level scorer.
