[@WauwautosaTufGuy]

No, she’s a great hustle player and a “dog” on the boards. She really has to get a jumper to become a top player. I heard she shoots with her off hand which is crazy. You would think the coaches in the WNBA could rebuild her jumper but they don’t have the assets or the funding as the NBA so who knows? The thing is, right now teams aren’t making their strategies to stop AR. She’s having a great rookie year but I just don’t think as of now at least, she will ever be a number 1 option

[@duvalovertonii6601]

I’ve been waiting for a fully comprehensive video like this on both players…from someone that fully understands what the scouts look at and not just coaches, players, or general fans. The Lynx made her their ENTIRE assignment for a reason. I believe the Aces said she was the assignment too and they had a hard time with her.

[@boondoggle4820]

A lot of people with a shallow understanding of basketball criticize Reese’s game because it’s not flashy and thrilling to watch for them, which is what they think makes a good player, but Reese’s impact is undeniable. She also has the highest overall efficiency rating of any rookie at 19.3, while Clark sits at 16.1. Even if you don’t understand defense which most of these guys speaking on basketball don’t, it’s obvious how much more easily the other team scores when Reese is on the bench versus when she’s in the game. That’s a huge impact.

@jaylucas8352 shooting 3 pointers are very hard to do which means it ain't no time to shoot 3s fancy jump shots, when you are trying to score any kind of way you can to help your team be in a winning situation, and without rebounds you won't be able to seal a lead to win as well, rebounds are a factor on how you keep the ball away from your opponent

[@gongdawgblaze]

I completely agree. If she ever gets a Sports Coach that can spend one on one time with her and help her improve the flaws of her game, Angel would be a real beast in 2.to 4 years. The young lady has raw natural talent right now. She just needs a little more development.

One of the best, honest and fair, visual examinations I've seen about Angel. You acknowledge her value. Cult-like followers refuse to acknowledge this. Reese hasn't had time to rest like all rookies. They went straight to playing after the draft. So none of their games are where they should probably be at this point. Reese is going to be more efficient. These double-doubles are very telling. Definitely a ROTY contender.

[@chocochicka1327]

Great breakdown. I think Angel is underrated.

[@donaldtillman4351]

Man this is a rookie that was picked 7th and she is leading the league in rebounding, but alas you failed to mention that. How about she’s only 6’3” and she is leading the league in rebounding. How many times have you seen that? She dominates games with her will and desire to be great. Just make sure that you mention CC is leading the league in turnover and the woman in second place is about 45 behind. So the passes her teammates drop she would still league with the ones that are her fault.

Nice analysis. Reese has gotten better with cutters. The reasons you pointed out is why she gets those good plus/minus ratings. They can’t be found in the box score. Also, maybe I missed it, but I would also add how teams are forced to account for her offensive rebounding and so keep 3 players in the lane to rebound. This slows their transition game, also, not in the box score.

[@richardm818]

If Angel continues to improve offensively the sky is the limit for her. Has potential to be one of the top players in her position and is already the leagues best rebounder. However Reese is currently a one dimensional player whereas Clark, top 20 in virtually every stat (1st 3PM, 3rd Assists, 8th FT%, 15th rebounds, top 20 in steals and blocks), contributes just about everywhere. The negative stats are Reese leading the league in misses from 5 feet in and Clark doing the same in turnovers. Of these the turnovers are more forgivable due to Clark's high usage rate, it being a statistic that some of the greatest NBA players (Lebron, Kobe, Stockton, Luka, Harden) of all time have lead the league in (top 5 in the WNBA this year are either Olympians or will be All Stars). Missing consistently from short range isn't something all-time greats have done. What doesn't have merit is Reese's outstanding rebounding numbers being due to grabbing her own misses. These only account for 2 rebounds a game on average. I love watching both players, but if ended today Clark should win hands down. Both have an incredible future.

[@breakthroughnow]

A one dimensional player does not set wnba double-double records, especially as a rookie. As coaching great Pat Riley says, no rebounds, no rings. So it looks like you're trying to minimize just how great her skills and feats are by bringing up CC stats, which are not comparable since they play different positions. Noticed how you conveniently left out how CC is leading the league in turnovers,, on pace to beat the dubious single season turnovers record.
