Sports Illustrated:

"She's an ideal player," Jackson says. "She has a 70-inch wing span from finger tip to finger tip and she jumps. She always works hard and challenges herself. She is very agile. What's really amazing is that when she is double- and triple-teamed, she stays very mentally calm and still is productive. She is a very confident young lady -- a real joy to coach."

Last summer, while playing for the AAU Houston Hotshots, Griner dunked for the first time, and last month she threw one down. "The whole crowd just jumped up and was screaming," Griner says.
