Are you watching the Iowa game? They shoot the shite out of the ball.

This is where I’d have my shot. I was never a skilled ball handler or shooter, but at 6’2” could crash the boards and score within the paint when not facing 6’4”+ skilled players. So I’d like my chances in the post and grabbing the numerous rebounds for easy put backs or starting fast breaks.

Also noticed the number of plays at the end of half/game where the player just absolutely panics and throws a wild air ball

It is easier to play with than a men’s ball.

I always said if I were allowed to play in the WNBA I would lead the league in personal fouls, flagrant fouls, technical fouls, and rebounds

Your certainly going to have a strength advantage at your size but those numbers are way off.

I looked at the rebounding leaders from last season and 6'6" 200lbs seems to be the norm for bigs in the WNBA.

If you don't truly have legit basketball skills, you wouldn't be able to do much.

They shoot 3s and have a similar 3pt % overall as the NBA.

ETA: strike the bulk of that, I thought it was a WNBA thread, Nevermind

I wouldn't do as well in the WNBA. I'd be coming off the bench as an enforcer

In all honesty I’m short and scrawny so I’d need help around me. However, I can run nonstop and make decent passes. Give me a good scorer to feed and I’d be set.

I would set picks and try to get people free

My skill set is limited but give me a point guard who can create, we are in business.

I can play some solid defense for about 15 minutes a game. I'm not conditioned enough to do anything more than that and still be effective at the moment.

I have a solid mid-range game, so I can score some points. But I have the handles of a 7 year old, so I can't set my own shot for nothing.

When I was at Ole Miss. my freshman year I would go down to the Rec center and olay some pickup games here and there. Quite often there was a girl there that would be playing as well.

Every single time people acted like she wasn’t shite or would try to guard her and get embarrassed or try to drive on her and she would just pick pocket them of the ball.

Later found out that she was one of the women basketball team players.

Im sure some of ya’ll with your size and shite could do some decent work. But most wouldn’t stand a chance.

I saw many a guys humbled by her on the court.
