Angel Reese

Rodman was a late to basketball, old second round pick from Southeastern Oklahoma State. His career path was unique. He's a bad comp for virtually everyone. I see far more Andre Drummond in Reese than I do Rodman.

I agree Drummond is a good potential comp for Reese, especially if she works to be more well-rounded as a player than Rodman was. (I mean, she's a couple of games into her second year, all comps to long-term players are a little bit based in fact and a little bit based in projection.)
I made the comparison to Rodman for a couple of reasons...

1) Rodman was well-known for off-the-court stuff as well as being a player who instigated on the court, who intentionally got under other players' skin in a strategic way, and who made effort a significant part of his game. All of that is true for Reese at this point in her career, as well.

2) theel mentioned Rick Mahorn...if you're at Rick Mahorn, then how do you not look at his Bad Boy teammate to make the comparison to Rodman? I mean, he's just right there.

Almost ZERO of Dennis Rodman’s rebounds were mebounds. Plus, Rodman was a GREAT player; Rick Mahorn wasn’t a great player. So far Angel Reese doesn’t look like she’ll be a great player.

Rodman was a great player. You've decided that Reese won't be a great player, but I'd say it's far too early to say that. She has one elite skill but has other very good skills. She has a long way to go in terms of shot making (and shot selection, to a certain extent), but the ingredients are there for her to turn into a HOF player.

Because Rodman was a great player. Angel Reese is not. Have you watched her play?

As a rookie, one could tell Dennis Rodman was freakishly athletic. Raw as hell in basketball terms, but an athletic freak of nature.

I don’t see comparable athleticism in Angel Reese - comparing her to WNBA players, not to peak Rodman.
 
She’s 23.
Two time first team All-American
Tourney MOP
SEC Player of the year
All-Star as a rookie
First team All rookie

I’m not sure what how the OP relates to her sucking at basketball. Because she had a clip where she missed layups? Ok.

Professional sports is littered with great college players who could not make the transition to the pro level.

I don't think Reese is that. I think she is used to being the star and at least right now, she doesn't have the chops to have the Sky's offense flow through her.

So you think she’s good?

She's overall a pretty good player who needs to be a bit better as an interior defender and with a huge issue with shot-making.

But she's still early in her second year, so she's got time to figure it all out. If she can become a good shot-maker (nothing amazing, just good at fairly basic inside shots on a consistent basis), then she has a chance to be a really productive player.
 
Smh @ the nonsense culture war, like the legit version of the nonsense culture war, making it's way to the ic offshoot.
