NGR-W vs USA-W Dream11 Team| Player Stats
Brittney Griner
WNBA stats: PPG: 20.5 RPG: 9.7
Griner is one of the most athletic women basketball players and one of the few women dunkers at the professional level. However, she is more than an athletic player and has a terrific turnaround fadeaway, great step through post moves, and owns the low-block through her size and strength, while she can also knock down mid-range shots. Griner is also a superb rebounder and clogs the paint with her top-notch defense. Brittney is a candidate for the Super Player in the Dream11 Fantasy scenario.
Ezinne Kalu
Olympics Qualifiers 2020: PPG: 16.0 APG: 4.7
Kalu has an incredible bag of tricks and at 5’8″ she is perhaps the most effective player in the Nigerian team. Her dribbling allows her to score inside, create separation to hit jumpers, and also earn trips to the Free Throw Line. She will see the ball a lot in her hands and Nigeria will hope that she has a monster 20+ points outing to bring home a miracle.
Breanna Stewart
WNBA stats: PPG: 20.6 RPG: 9.6
Breanna was the 2018 WNBA MVP and she has a lot of talent at the Forward position. She can hit the long ball, get inside and finish, shoot over defenders while having a highly creative and innovative offensive arsenal. She is also a high-quality defender and rebounder, which compliments Griner in the frontline well.
Adaora Elonu
Olympics Qualifiers 2020: PPG: 9.3
Adaora is a livewire whose athleticism allows her to finish inside and create chances at the offensive end. She is more than a slasher and also has a beautiful jump shot. Elonu will need to amp it up against a super-charged USA team if Nigeria has to have a chance.
A’Ja Wilson
WNBA stats: PPG: 19.4 RPG: 9.0
Wilson is a high-caliber Forward who plays with a lot of energy. Her primary move is the face-up jumper that she nails over tough defenders and she is basically a mid-range maestro. Apart from that, she has many post moves and has become one of the most skilled offensive players in the world, male or female. She has also the ability to rack up rebounds and play superb defense.
Victoria Macaulay
Olympics Qualifiers 2020: PPG: 8.3 RPG: 3.3
Victoria is one of the few veterans in the Nigerian team and plays the Center position for them. She can hit tough face-up jumpers and perform low block moves, giving high-quality offense to her squad.
Jewell Loyd
WNBA stats: PPG: 17.5 APG: 4.2
Loyd is a highly talented guard who excels at changing directions and giving a lot of trouble to defenses. She can hit three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and her dribble moves and quickness also allow her to finish inside.
