The Unstoppable Force: How Napheesa Collier is Quietly Revolutionizing the Minnesota Lynx

Williams is having a career year in Minnesota. She’s a second-time All-Star putting up some of her best numbers (14.1 points, 6.0 assists, 37.0% from 3-point range) and has been a sparkplug of offensive electricity whenever the Lynx need it.
