She performed a slam dunk at the Chinese New Year this year, which silenced many Chinese people who had questioned her jumping ability.（Although her jump is not high, it is enough for her to dunk.）She doesn't jump because she doesn't need to jump.

[@eugenechin2863]

@xxz400164033 She should keep her dunking to a minimum. Due to her size, too much dunking could ruin her knees. She already almost unstoppable under the rim without all those flashy moves.

She doesn't jump because she is young and still growing, as someone who is already in national team with professional coaches and physicians, also a daughter of two former professional basketball players, she will jump when she shall be.

[@functionalgopher286]

Average vertical jump in the WNBA is like 14". That league is cooked if she's healthy. It's not elegant, but its 100% a game breaker to be that tall and strong against people who really can't do anything about it. She's shooting nearly 90% from the field over three STRAIGHT games and you best believe that's sustainable as she's put up 60+ points like nothing before.

[@functionalgopher286]

​@@Wtspyo She doesn't need shooting if she's going 16/20, 20/22, etc. next to the basket. This isn't the NBA, those WNBA women can't deal with her brute physicality right now at 16 years old. She just put up 44 points today on a back-to-back to follow up the 36 points from this video. Everyone else can get tired running around everywhere to score points, what she does is something nobody else in the world right now is physically capable of doing. You don't try to play to anyone else's game when you have that kind of competitive edge/advantage on a different scale. Now imagine her surrounded with actual good players on top of that, you won't be able to defend that team - and she's a good passer but at her ultra-efficiency, I wouldn't want her to pass much to be honest as it doesn't make mathematical sense to.

[@LordPist65]

Her pump fake throws me off every time. Looks like she’s traveling each time she gets the ball, but her feet hardly ever leave the ground, even when she shoots.

She needs to protect her knees because she is still growing, and the coaches ask her to try not to jump when shooting.

[@nanangprasetyo538]

[@PulledFLFGBANDFLFSV]

7 footers in 1v1s are typically just a cheat code since they are difficult to score on, You have nobody to pass the ball to unless the 7 footer is very slow, The smaller player would have better chance of winning but when it comes to the 7 footers' offensive end, Theres just no stopping them I mean theres nothing you can do, You'll just get bodied and worked in the interior

[@robloxgenius0009]

caitlin might win because of her speed and stamina. not a fair match considering zhang hasnt had nearly as much training as caitlin

Hard to tell if she is any good. She runs the floor pretty well, and gets in good positions. BUT, when you are twice as tall and double the weight... You should average at least 40 ppg and 20 rebounds, maybe 10 blocks. This says nothing about her skills. Like if I would play 10 year olds and then get hyped up : ) She should wear knee protection and start jumping. Her feet never leave the floor.
