A'ja Wilson - Fantastic Footwork/Postup Powerhouse

A’ja Wilson. 2x WNBA All-Star. 2018 WNBA Rookie of the Year. NCAA Champion in 2017. NCAA Most Outstanding Player 2017. Consensus National Player of the Year in 2018. 3x Consensus first-team All-American. 3x SEC Player of the Year. 4x First-team All-SEC. THE All-Time leading scorer and shot blocker in South Carolina women’s basketball history. FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup Gold Medalist (Spain 2018).
Not even 10 games into her professional career, A'ja already made history: she became second rookie to tally 35 points and 10 rebounds in a game, joining Candace Parker. That set the stage for an outstanding first year that culminated in her being selected UNANIMOUSLY as the WNBA Rookie of the Year. She finished averaging 20.7 points per game, making her only the second rookie in the history of the league to average 20.0 or more per game since Seimone Augustus in 2006 (at 21.9 points per game).
She followed up that sensational first season with a solid second season. She helped her Las Vegas Aces, also in their second season, to a conference finals berth. They did end up losing to the eventual champion Washington Mystics but considering they didn't make the playoffs in year one speaks a lot to how big a leap they made.

Wilson is a Wubble All-WNBA First team favorite and it’s not hard to see why. She’s got fantastic footwork, her post game is pristine, when she faces up, it dizzies defenders, she’ll punish you if you bite on the pump fake, and most of all, she’s left handed, which means that no matter what the defense does, she’s getting to her left.
Defensively, she’s definitely just as devastating. Her energy is infectious and she plays the game with such passion and emotion that you can’t help but root for her, even if you are a fan of the other team. She exerts her influence both on AND off the court. She’s already a proficient podcaster (link below), and her piece in The Players’ Tribune (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-...) is POWERFUL.
Basically, she’s an absolute badass who you should already know about - but in case you didn’t, here’s a 9 minute video showing just a little bit of what she can do offensively.
