This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

She's Now The 3rd Leading Scorer in the WNBA This Year by dillon77

..at 18.1 ppg.

Fans of Napheesa Collier point to Collier helping Minnesota get into the playoffs and her all-round game (particuarly her shooting percentage). However, Minnesota and Collier has Sylvia Fowles and Odyssey Sims as the first and second options.

Arike, without Sklyar and MoJeff and the departure of Cambage to Las Vegas, is often Option A, B or C. To paraphrase the great Elena Della Donne, Arike has them winning or being close in games and can score from anywhere.

What's that now, three 30-point games? Hard to argue with her overall improvement throughout the year. BTW, keep an eye on McCowan in Indy, who is also coming on. Due to that, I can see Natalie Achonwa either switching to power forward next year or going to another team.

Now that most WBB fans can see Arike day-in, day-out they're starting to understand how she's something of a force of nature.
