That is true, though except for Britany Greiner, I believe all of the dunks by women have been two-handed, so ball size doesn't matter in that specific case, but yes, it does affect shooting, ball handling, and the ability to dunk with one hand.
Actually dunking with a smaller ball is easier even 2 handed. If you had ever dunked you would know that. Even common sense tells you its harder. Since the ball is smaller and the rim is not it's easier to fit the ball through it just as with a jump shot. Also with a smaller ball there is less chance of it slipping out of your hands .And a larger ball is harder to get above the rim because you have to be a little bit farther away from the rim to get the ball , over , above and down.
