re: In “pro” b-ball- is there anyone worse at making layups then Angel Reese?

One outlier game doesn't change what she is.

She's a great rebounder, competitor and winner.

She’s currently the best defender in the game but yes let’s keep talking about rebounds

This guy got this so i copied and pasted. Read it, I found this interesting

Self-Rebound % = Self Rebounds / Total Rebounds After analyzing the data, here’s what I found to be true: *Angel Reese is in the 99th percentile among frontcourt players for both self-rebound % (Mean = 3.7%, Angel = 8.5%) and self-rebounds per game (Mean = .197/g, Angel = 1.12/g). *She’s also in just the 6th percentile for 2-point field goal percentage (Mean = 49.6%, Angel = 41.0%), so she misses a lot around the rim and has more chances to rebound herself. *In a chart of Self-Rebound % vs Rebounds per Game (slide 1), she’s in the top right corner. She rebounds a lot, and a big chunk of that is her own misses. *In Self-Rebound % vs 2pt FG% (slide 2), there isn’t much of a trend overall, but Angel sits alone in the bottom right with low shooting percentage and a very high share of rebounds from her own missed shots. However: I also created a stat called Adjusted Rebounds per Game (slide 3), where I subtract self-rebounds per game from total rebounds per game. The idea is to level the playing field. Who’s pulling down boards that aren’t coming off their own missed shots? After adjusting, Angel Reese still leads the league in Rebounds per Game over the past 10 years. So yes, she does miss a lot, and a higher share of her rebounds come from her own missed shots than any other player. But even without counting those, she still leads in overall rebounding. The self-rebounds inflate her totals, but they don’t create the whole number out of nothing. She’s a high-miss, high-motor player and still a dominant rebounder either way. To be honest, I've seen the clips and the memes and I expected to come away with a more negative conclusion, but the truth is she's a force on the boards. It’s not always clean or efficient, but she’s young, her shot will improve, and she’s dominant regardless. Let me know if anyone wants to see more of the data or my code. I know many of you are likely tired of this discussion, but I just wanted to share my findings and I hope you at least find it interesting.

That one lynch dude is so fricking miserable he keeps posting but I refuse to acknowledge someone who doesn’t even watch the games

Chick won LSU/Louisiana a championship and has done nothing negative to misrepresent the program its insane to me idk what dude gets out of hating one of LSU’s all time greats. I enjoy wnba games you have to understand these are women not men so the game looks wildly different. I will gladly support the bayou barbie

No one hates former LSU players like LSU fans. Even siding with Portnoy.

I can name about 10,000 LSU athletes that I love, and Ben Simmons, Jayden Daniels, and Angel Reese are three of the only ones off the top of my head that I don’t. Cry harder, nobody needs Dave Shortnoy to sway their opinion on one of the most embarrassing personalities and athletes to ever come through LSU

And Marrero still struggling to comprehend facts and logic. She went 14 -21 and still us only shooting 43.1%. Horrible for a player who shoots 90% of her shots within 3 feet of the basket. For comparison Shaquille Oneal who shot exactly the same type of shots as Angel from point blank range career shooting percentage is 58.2%. You do understand that 58.2% is significantly better than 43.1% don't you.

A layup shooter who can only shoot a 43.1% is horribly inefficient.
