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

And under the hoop isn’t the only place where Collier’s efficiency has risen. From 5-9 feet, she’s shooting 50.6% and from 10-14 feet, she’s shooting 51.9%, per WNBA.com. Both are career highs. In 2023 and 2024, Collier established herself as a threat from the midrange after being relatively inconsistent there in the first few years of her career. Now she’s taken an even greater leap to become a master of the midrange, as the great Mark Jones would say.
