This chick is a bean pole and has been dominating women's college basketball practically since she started at Baylor two years ago. Here, she demonstrates she's kind of a badass. 23 ppg, 9.2 rebs, and 5+ blocks per game. She's 208, a little slight, but shoot, I've seen a lot worse dudes running around in the field of 64 on the men's side.

She wouldn't even make a decent D-1 program.

you said you had seen dudes in the Field of 64 that was worse.  I'm saying no they are better than she is.

I'm saying that as far as women players go. She's the first one I've ever seen play that I'm pretty sure could be a factor at the highest level of high school boys basketball.

And yes, there have been players in the field of 64 that don't have her fundamentals down, and given the fact that she lacks the upper body strength, I wouldn't expect her to be able to last long against most players with any kind of length.

She's still really fun to watch dominate at the level she plays at.

True, I would throw a few others in that category and possibly slightly above her granted they are different type players..    Taurasi, Maya Moore, Miller (forget her first name), a recent UCONN guard not Moore who's name is also slipping my mind and then a few from the 80's / 90's.

Cheryl Miller.  She ruled.  Played at USC in the mid-80s.  She's Reggie Miller's sister.

Brittney Griner is a completely different player than any of those previously listed. She's 6-8 and can move for godssakes.

I guess that's where I disagree a bit.   I don't think she moves that well, granted I don't watch many women's games, just a few minutes here and there.   I only think she's a bit more athletic and lengthy than a Lobo or the Paris twins.   That little bit is adds a lot though granted to her defensive game and post game.

I guess I just prefer the athleticism from the other 2's and 3's that have been discussed over Greiner.   My thought is they would compete more at a men's level than BG.
