Angel Reese

My point is that 6’3” WNBA players rarely have post bunnies. They get the rebound and other 6’3” to 6’5” to 6’6” BURLY women are challenging their shot.

Lisa Leslie, 6’5”, shot 47% overall FG%. She shot 48.3% from 2. She’s in the Hall of Fame. She played in the pre-Mikan era.

We’re still in the George Mikan era for Women’s Hoops.

Angel Reese needs to develop an offensive game. Will she? She’s a 73% FT shooter in her WNBA career. So, she’s a good, not great, not bad shooter.

I say she develops a WNBA offensive post game in 2-3 years. Remember, she’s playing against Mikan Era NBA bigs…….maybe pre-Mikan.

That makes sense and good points. Just watching her play she seems super athletic till she goes up with the ball. If she doesn’t develop her game it’s her own fault.

Do any WNBA “bigs” look super athletic?

David Thompson was 6’3”-6’4”. He wasn’t a big. He was SUPER ATHLETIC. RIDICULOUSLY ATHLETIC. He played college ball 50 years ago. His rookie year in the ABA was 1975-76. Today, the NBA is littered with guys who are ridiculously athletic - maybe not DT athletic; but, scarily athletic.

Angel Reese is 6’3” and female. She is never going to get a rebound and elevate and dunk. Never.

She’s Paul Silas in a women’s body.

She should aspire to be Adrian Dantley offensively……he shot 82% FT…….she’s a better defender and rebounder. AD was 6’5” with no jumping ability.

if you had outsiders perspective looking at her numbers you’d think if she just practices lay ups and bunnies she’d average 30 and 12 no problem. But half of her rebounds come from her own misses. It’s wild as professional basketball player. Lisa Leslie said it as it is.

Men’s and women’s basketball are so different I’m not sure comparing them is useful.

I classify them as different sports.

35% of her offensive rebounds are her own misses. Which is about 2 rebounds per game.

Don't know if it's true, but I heard that AR was the first player, NBA or WNBA, to make an all-star game despite having the worst +/- on their team.

Angel Reese's plus/minus for the season is -154, according to StatMuse. This means that when she is on the court, her team has been outscored by 154 points overall. She is among the worst in the WNBA in plus/minus, with an average of -10.5 per game, which is the fifth-worst among players with at least 10 games played.

She’s actually not a terrible player. Never has been.

this. rough around the edges, needs to polish some things but has loads of potential.

her assists have skyrocketed since vandersloot tore her ACL a few weeks ago and the sky have needed more/better passing from other players.
