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

And still, in 2025, Collier has made that rare, drastic improvement from elite to … whatever is above elite. She’s currently shooting 75.1% in the restricted area on 4.4 attempts per game; the volume has stayed level, but her shooting percentage has risen over 11%, an almost unprecedented leap.

Shots like this, which would be impossible for others, have become common for Collier.

That 75.6% clip is second out of 15 players who shoot four times per game in the restricted area, behind two-time MVP Breanna Stewart, and third out of the 26 players who shoot at least three times per game in the restricted area. Phee and Stewie stand alone when combining volume and efficiency around the basket.
