4 of her 8 offensive rebounds were mebounds today


So 12 more non-mebound rebounds. :)

12 rpg would lead the league.

Do you think its a positive for someone who shoots 90% of their shots from within 3 feet shoot 42%? Caitlin Clark shoots the majority of her shots from outside the lane is a 45% shooter Reese cant even shoots that percentage on layups.

It appears to be pretty effective if she is leading the league in +/-.

She's 202-433 on 2 pt attempts this year. Thats 46.6%. When you factor in those 58 offensive boards from her own misses that negated them, that puts her at 202-375 which would be 53.9%

Add in the 166 free throws at 73.8% she has made from shots in the paint and she can be pretty effective.

there is a dude, who posts clips of the big players, and he was posting sloths recent game, and she literally was standing under the hoop to the left, and nearly missed the whole rim off the back board.

she missed 7 layups, refs bailed her out on 3 of them, she got stuffed 2 times, and completely missed the iron or back board.


she's a female dennis rodman

And could become a hell of a defender if she’d just accept this and work on mastering who she really is

Not worthy of its own thread, but saw this and thought it was ridiculous.

Last game of the season is on 9/24, yet each team has about 5 games left. Ridiculous how far they stretch a 44 game season. It’s almost as long as the NBA season and they play half the games

She never will, because she lacks the maturity

Hell, it took rodman to become the best version of himself and she ain't gonna last as long as he did in the respective leagues

Actually Rodman could make layups and put backs something Angel cannot do.

Its womens basketball. They dont make layups as much as men due to them being shorter and less coordinated.

With her rebounding ability her actual 2pt percentage is higher than someone like Aaliyah Edwards who makes 50% of her layups but only gets her rebound back on misses 2% of the time

Her shooting percentage is her shooting percentage it doesn't increase because she grabs her own misses. Sure women make less but no one makes less than Angel she very well could be the worst shooter in the history of professional basketball.

Also she is 6 foot 4. Spud Webb made a much higher percentage of layups than Angel and he is 5 ft 6.

If women are as bad as u say how do you explain Caitlin shooting a higher percentage than Angel and Caitlyn isn't shooting almost exclusively layups like Angel is.

it does though as a coach analytically. Angel Reese has 195 offensive rebounds this year.

would you rather a player that makes 200 out of 400 layups and gets you back the ball for a second possession 50 times a season or a player that makes 184 out of 400 layups and gets you a second offensive possession 200+ times a season.

with those 150 extra offensive possessions you would expect to score way more points than the 16 extra makes.

also Reese is top 10 in free throws made per game with 172 made already this year

She's exactly 78th out of 148 players in offensive value per minute in the WNBA out of qualified players.

She's 5th in defensive value per minute

One of those rebounds she also got on offensive foul on and tuned out over

16 points on 14 shots and 11 non mebounds isn't really that impressive considering how often she gets uncontested ones. Also 4 turnovers from the post. Something that people kill clark for despite her having the ball significantly more and being riskier with passes

She is a mid to upper mid tier WNBA player but nothing special


Yesterday she bought them 4 extra possessions on non me bound offensive rebounds and gave away 4


So a net 0 in that category while missing 10 shots

She was just as bad, if not worse, in her last year at LSU. No stats available but it wasn't just my imagination.

I personally dont care about rebounds when she cant make a wide open layup. If she thinks anybody tunes im to watch her other than her parents she is crazy.

There is simply no way some of you care enough about the WNBA to discuss it on a daily basis.


Gotta be bots or plants. Talking about the most unlikable players playing for the most unlikable coaches, in the most subsidized waste of brain wave league in recorded history. Terrible product. Zero entertainment value. Shines a light on the most selfish, self absorbed subset of humanity. Other than that I got no problem with it.
