You say that AR just throws the ball up at the basket and hopes that it goes in. Absolutely correct. She has absolutely no shooting form. This girl is NOT a basketball player, and for sure not even on the same planet as Caitlin Clark. I actually feel sorry for her when I watch her trying to run. No coordination running and for sure not shooting the basketball. To even consider this a competition with CC is completely crazy. It never has been.
She's a good player, a great defensive player, and a damn good rebounder! He's on top of the Rookie list this year...you can't diminish her play about that like haters do!
@@Buckseed I am an LSU fan so I am not a hater but I am knowledgeable and Reese is a sloppy shooter under the basket. Sloppy shooting under the basketball from your big player cost you games.She needs discipline .
In 100 words or less can you tell me why Reese is not the best rookie on the Sky? Chicago is losing games because they have two rookies starting and a new head coach. Not a hard basketball concept to figure out
@I.am_Groot one word efficacy. If you switch KC and AR playing time. The sky would have won half the games they lost, and KC stats would be amazing. AR would be a better player with less stats. Less point from fewer forced shots. Then, fewer rebounds if she kicked the ball to wide open teammates.
@@ace1gl So you believe Reese not as good because IF a bunch of other stuff had happened and IF those things worked then maybe Chicago would win more games. Nah. 🚫
Doesn't CC lead the league in turnovers, has one of the lowest 3-point shooting percentages in the league? She is one of the worst defensive players in the league also. Everybody post her up about 15 times a game.
@@themajicman745 CCs is also one of the leagues highest ball handlers so its not really an argument to say that "oh look at her turnovers".... but also CCs 3pt percentage is actually higher than ARs field goal percentage so the fact CC is more likely to score a 3 pointer than AR is to score a layup is even wilder
@@themajicman745 come on now. Two different impacts. One is the conductor of an offense that she's new to and the other plays primarily in the box where reaction is more valued than skill. One plays under control, looks world class and the other just throws up wild shots and gets them back because no one else anticipates that she will miss that badly.
No, it's the fake hype that's boostes her ego so much that she's now blind to the gaps in her game. She needs people around her who will actually be real with her and stop her from letting her ego limit her ceiling. E.g. having a "bully-ball" style is fine....but not if you're bad at finishing!
love how you didn’t hate on Reese and gave your respect towards her and showing that she has potential a great contrast from a lot of the content I see about her. great video man
Angel is shooting 43% from within 5 feet. That is the worst in the WNBA, the league averages 59%. Her jumpshot is a struggle. She shooting 18% three-pointers and 31% mid range August 26 she was four for 16. And people think she is rookie of the year material? Padded double double figures. Numbers do not lie!
@@mikevismyelement The fact she is very tall for a female is the sole reason she's even in the WNBA. In the WNBA tall players like Griner and Reese can simply overpower other women. That doesn;t exist in the NBA, as the vast majority of overly big/tall players were either mediocre or busts. You can't just win at the NBA from being big and tall alone. That's because there's a MASSIVE skill difference between men and women's ball
43% from shots 5 feet and closer is so pathetically bad. Not to mention her entire coaching staff was stat padding for her to keep those double doubles. Imagine playing one of your starters 10 extra minutes in a blowout to get rebounds lol
They're literally introducing categories like PER, RAPTOR, and Census to argue that Reese will be rookie MVP over Clark. Guaranteed those stat categories won't be brought up in next years rookie race. The roadblocks being put in place for Clark by people who are claiming to be the victims is absurd.
It looks ridiculous. Clumsy, over and over uncoordinated lunging and lurching at the basket, just hoping something goes in, hoping to make a basket. Who thinks that is skillful basket ball playing?
@@itz_zinzy she shoots a better % and also actually blocks shots. Reese currently averages 6 more minutes than her, if Cardoso played 32 mins per game, she'd easily rack up double doubles. She's currently averaging 9 points and 8 rebounds, on 51% shooting with 1.3 blocks per game. Her blocks, that's 7th highest in the entire league. She's way more efficient while actually playing impactful defense as a big.
If Cardoso moves to another team where she'll actually be used to her full abilities, she'll be a much bigger star than Reese. Way more skilled and more likeable as a person
Reese's game has a number of offensive deficiencies. Why she isn't in the gym working with a fundamentals coach is baffling...until you realize that she'd rather start a podcast and play the victim than actually work on her skills.
@@420HughMungus I notice she has been wearing K tape on her shin. I also noticed how slow she goes up and down the floor. I wonder if she is suffering from shin splints. I hope I am wrong as they hurt and they take forever to heal,
Then Caitlin has 500 moms and 5,000 dads. So many people sticking for her by trying to demean what Angel is doing. Sheryl’s the only one doing it for Angel. Not one person mentions CCs turnovers to tear down her accomplishments. But we try and destroy what Angel is doing. Y’all never let black people live
@@donaldtillman4351stop it. Angel is mid. She isnt better than the other big on her own team. Is rebounding more important than points and assists? CC is ROY.
She collects all the garbage but can’t load it on the truck. She throws the garbage cans again the side of the truck then picks it up again and throws it up again One of three goes in the truck Very messy
Her teammates are giving her the cold shoulder cause of how bad her shooting has been and they’re getting tired of her patting her stats and loosing games because of it. WNBA needs to be scared of CC if she’s cooking like this on her rookie season imagine once she’s been in the league for a few seasons.
Caitlyn Clark all but has the playoffs locked up. Angel Reese is VERY close to being irrelevant for the rest of the season. A few more losses and Reese's season is over.
The only reason I've even heard of Reese is because of Caitlin Clark. The only reason why I even watched a women's college game was because of CC, CC has brought more exposure to women's basketball, then Diani, Sue, Swoops, Weatherspoon, Lobo, Donne, Parker, that one girl that got traded for a arms dealing serial killer for some reason, and other great women's players have ever done. None of them could do it no matter how good they were. None of them were a "draw", and WNBA has never ever been profitable. WNBA tv contract is 50 mil per year. With CC effect they're now possibly going to sign a 2 BILLION for 11 years. CC rookie debut drew 2.1 million viewers, the most watched WNBA in history at the time. CC Iowa vs UConn drew nearly _15 million viewers_. _CC and Iowa drew 19 million viewers._ To put that into perspective, That's more than: *• Every World Series game last year. • Every NBA Finals game last year. • Every Daytona 500 since 2013. • Every Masters final round viewership since 2013. • All but five CFB games in 2023.* CC does what no other female player has ever done. make people care, and women hate her for it. Man, Barkley is right. WNBA players will be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor more than ever because of CC, and they ... hate her for it? WNBA players will be able to support their families better than they ever have and... they hate CC for it? The potential TV contract, all because of CC, and all the other new contracts that players will sign for endorsements will be further bolstered with the CC effect. Without CC, WNBA falls back into obscurity, drawing as many viewers as a dog show, and because meme joke with people sleeping court side. And they don't deserve that. Why can't everybody be like , DAMN CC, thanks for all love you're bring to our game. Now lets get out there and show everyone what we're all capable of doing! Now that CC has brought in all the eyes, now people will give us all a chance and lets play our hearts out and show we were entertaining all along! No more butt of jokes, no more memes, no more replies in comments on wnba highlights that were unrelated to the game. I remember WNBA highlight videos and comments would be: "guys I saved money on insurance switching to Geico" or "thinking about some Panda express or Chipotle what do you guys think?" Caitlin, has done something that ESPN, or any other TV outlet, marketing, even the NBA couldn't do in over TWENTY YEARS. And that is make PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WATCHING THE WNBA. ...... and the toxic women in the wnba...hate her for it.??? 🤷♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀ To be honest, the WNBA doesn't DESERVE Caitlin Clark.
I have never watched a women's College basketball game until Clark, I have never watched a WNBA until Clark I bought a Clark Jersey because of Clark. I would have done none of these things without Clark. She is marketable, likeable, humble. Like you said, Clark has done something that the marketing dept, and every tv hosting hasn't been able to do. And that is make me care. I enjoy watching it now.
And, I believe the reason so many people have not watched WNBA in the past is the same reason as why Angel Reese is not an ROY contender. A "Pro" throwing up brick after brick is not exciting or enjoyable to watch. On the other hand, Clark's logo 3's and inside passes are awesome. I can throw up bricks like Angel Reese all day, but I can't nail long 3's or make passes with surgical precision. When a person is a "professional,' their game should be impressive. Watching Angel Reese fling the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the basket, and miss, and get her own rebound so she can fling the ball again...ugh.That's is what basketball looked like in junior high. It shouldn't look like that in the WNBA.
@@b-zoneonroku2020chill. Anthony Bennett don’t have a HOF quality about him. Though Angel Reese is limited offensively, her knack for being at the right place to catch rebounds are astounding. As for the convo: Iggy over Steph😂. (And I love Igoudala)
Rodman was an all time defender, was not a ball hog, and never acted like he's better than MJ. Stop being stupid. Reese isn't even as good as Drummond. She could be if Andre shot 30% worse and acted like Draymond.
@@Desmo25 thats correct...RODMAN was also a great passer and could move well without the ball, so who do you suggest comparing her to??? because you cant compare her to great rebounders since those rebounders werent getting half of their rebounds on their own missed shoots...
Naw it ain’t really hard to see u just have to look without bias. His comp with A’Ja was spot on. She just look so fukkin awkward on the layups as a big and her court IQ is so terrible sometimes, on top of all the hype and then shoving her down our throats, I get it lol I don’t follow the WNBA but they always had a hard on for tall girls that can rebound lol
Her best attribute is her hustle. Can't take anything away from her relentless energy, she plays hard all the time. The problem is she isn't very good at anything outside of grabbing missed shots, many of which are her OWN missed shots. Her shooting percentage is atrocious, especially considering she is a low post player. She is also incredibly selfish, rarely kicking the ball back out to an open teammate, and usually just chucking up another miss so she can pile up the offensive rebound stats that people use to promote her as something special. She is a mediocre player who owes her entire career to Caitlyn Clark, whom she successfully latched herself onto back in college by fabricating a rivalry against her based on pretending Clark's "can't see me" hand gesture was about her and her team, when it had nothing to do with them at all. Her obvious jealousy of Clark is undeniable, and it doesn't help that half the league is also envious of Clark to the point where they're all pretending Reese isn't just some overrated, selfish player.
I think her national championship speaks to that hustle and to her ability to grow into her game at a higher level. It is funny though when the NBA early last season had talk of would someone challenge Wemby for ROY and it was seen as petty and jealous. I think a lot of males are projecting a bit and ballers in the W could teach them some things about competition. Good points and the best thing is people outside the normal W conversation are speaking on the league a lot more. That is not all Clark's doing but she is bringing attention where its needed
@@I.am_Grootwashing machines also work hard. She has no real skill anywhere. If anyone knew how to box out in that league her shit rebounds wouldn’t matter
@@I.am_Groot😂 nobody cares about college titles. She had to leave Maryland to seek a title with a team already championship-ready. Besides, she wasn't the best player on LSU that game The following season which her fans love to avoid discussing saw her true colors. Again, they got 2 all American transfers to join for a repeat....
If angel reese was actually a solid offensive player, she might be the female bill russell, but she can't finish and has ass footwork soooooo not happening
@@I.am_Grootshe has been playing basketball her whole life and still can't make layups or use basic footwork. She jumps off the wrong foot most of the time lol.
@@mickeydooley2230 Ah ok you got me rookies come in at peak I must forgot. Or... maybe you so new to the W this sort of tail chasing nonsense seems like factual discussion 🙈
0:23 travelling, jumped pivot foot before dribble 2:00 travelling, took 4 or 5 steps with no dribble, 3:16 travelling, moved her feet all over the place with no dribble, 5:25 travelling when she was hilariously quadruple teamed while trying to keep the garbage streak going during garbage time and walks off angry after Carter who was probably sick of the fake streak too would not feed the ball back in. 10:21 double dribble, she juggles it from one hand to the other between dribbles for some reason, not even being guarded. 13:42 travelling though a bit marginal, shifts pivot foot a bit. 13:52 big travel, jumps twice before shooting. 14:12 travelling, moves pivot foot before dribble. 15:48 travelling, took 4 steps. 16:13 takes 4 steps before putting the ball on the floor...
@@devinisreal9356 Since it was only 4 that I pointed out in the highlight reel and you say only 3 were travels which one do you believe to me to be wrong on? I suspect it is the first one, moving pivot foot before dribble which is illegal but hard to gauge or catch by officials. I officiated basketball for about 20 years, it is a hard call to make but it was there. So much for CC getting a friendly whistle either way even if you think I am wrong about 1 of the 5 violations, 1 of which was a hilariously missed double dribble by what should be the best officials in the nation...
2:53 is probably the worst miss in any recorded basketball game ever in men or woman. That is criminal how awful that was. Of the 10,000+ games and the 1000000+ potential shots, that is the worst one, by far.
Never was to begin with .. I just don't get how it become even a discussion all over while its clear as a day that CC are league above her. The fact CC didn't win ROY unanimously are just shocking.
im being completely objective when I say this, Reese is not a dominant player. we do her a disservice by saying these things in the name of being nice. she is an all time great rebounder but aside from that her game is fairly average. she is a good defender but everything else is either average or below average. that does not equate to a dominant player.
@@Cremlindor no lmao. A good or even average player can have dominant performances. And if u call 14 and 18 on terrible shooting efficiency dominant then God bless you
@@Cremlindor u need consistency in dominance to b called a dominant player, u need to be elite at ATLEAST more than one facet of the game to be labelled dominant, which she is not. U cannot be consistently inefficient and have nothing else to offer other than rebounding and b labelled as dominant. And i kno u ppl like her but dis aint a popularity contest, its professional sports
Last couple of years, I honestly lost all respect of Shaq and Chuck. They were cool, funny and "entertaining" for a long time for me, but now they just come across as pathetic haters and narrative builders. Chuck calling LeBron to retire when Bron can still ball at high level and Shaq praising Angel just becasue she is signed with Reebok is so fkin lame. Its nothing but stupid hate
@@themajicman745Primary ball handler who WANTS the responsibility. And she gets results. Angel Reese gets her double-doubles and Ls. Phenomenal rebounder? 100%. But, Caitlin Clark is running away with that ROTY. And the race will be as close as Europe is to Asia, not at all.
@themajicman745 CC isn't actually bad on defense but she doesn't need to be great because she gets the team points without sacrificing the team. And the greatest NBA players also her high turnover. The more active you are, the greater the chance of that. It's not a meaningful stat.
@Nestle245 that is the question. Fever were able to stop her. There was another team early on the stopped her streak. It's true that most teams don't seem aa interested in trying. But to be fair, a lot of her stats are padded. Like in the game vs fever, they left AR in at the end to get more rebounds when all that was left were the bench warmers.
Angel Reese out here trying to be the Dennis Rodman of the WNBA. The difference is that Rodman knows that hes not a scorer & excells in Defence/rebounds ! 🤷♂️
Fun fact. Rodman was a great scorer. He avg something like 25/15 in college. As a pro he wanted to focus on rebounding and defense. Reese will shoot better. She just a rookie
@@ImRestarted-j5r shes a rookie once again. shes gonna get better throughout her career and ovb will work on her post game and touch more. its good that's shes aggresive
Yes, thought about Rodman as a comparison while watching this video. She still has time, maybe she'll end up prioritizing team wins eventually. Maybe the next frontier we'll be arguing is... who will have the best shoes/merch from their respective brands? 😃
Swoopes advised Reese to start her own podcast and is going to have Reese talk bad about Caitlin Clark because Swoopes wants the heat off herself for all the lies and putdowns Swoopes has done. Reese should not have taken Swoopes advice to start an Angel Reese podcast... Swoopes is just using Angel.
I described Angel Reese as looking like one of those amphibian creatures that goes "ribbit ribbit" yesterday and youtube deleted it and a bullying/harassment warning popped up, most tamest thing I've said to get one of those warnings lol
Clark’s better than her overall and not a competition. Padding your stats to get double doubles instead of focusing on winning is not something that should be rewarded. Caitlin’s focusing of doing whatever to win while Reese just wants to make sure she gets that double double so that she can beat Caitlin in the roty race that shouldn’t even be a race. Reese is obsessed with Clark while Clark is obsessed with winning games as a team.
@@MrPppitts1 The humility and willingness to praise others is a good indication of a healthy ego. I think Reese's ego and mouth get in her way as much as any physical shortcomings. Look at the Fever vs. last year, then look at the Sky vs. last year. A dominant player makes the whole team better, not worse.
What is confusing is that there are individuals who see Reese as being a generational player who are just confused, and as for Clark she has her own Double Doubles points and assists, and a triple Double Double.

@@DonaldBruceSmith Good post! I heard someone recently who represented Clark's point contribution by adding her points scored with the points scored from assists! The number was huge!
2 Questions. A: What percentage of her rebounds are from her own missed shots? B: How many of her rebounds are in garbage time? For example, I just watched Fever beat Sky 100 to 81. With around 4 minutes left in the game, when the game was virtually over, both teams pulled all their starters off the court and put the bench in. Except for one player. Angle Reese played to the end of the game so she could inflate her double doubles. She got her final shot to get the double double with 30 seconds in the game.
No way for Angel. Wait next 2 years with or without rookie title. No IQ, no finish, no shoot, don't care the team, don't care the ligue, only rebonds and tiktok champ.
Nothing is confusing about Reese and her playing - she cannot dribble, and stands under the basket, rebounding her own bricks that she missed, she cannot pass or will not pass the ball. there is really no merit to Dbl, Dbl Points and Rebounds - Point 1) There have been 6,725 double-doubles in WNBA history by 203 different players, Hardly Special. Point 2) Double-doubles achieved with points/rebounds assists are much more common in 132 WNBA games there have been 146 points/rebound (1.11) or one every game - With 144 players in the WNBA - once again it occurs so often and is hardly special as it is a very Common Occurrence. Point 3) Double-doubles achieved with points/assists are much rarer in the WNBA where 144 players over 132 games there have been only 24 points/assists double-doubles (0.16 per game) 1) In Reese's last 5 games, 71 shots were taken, 23 shots were made or 32.3%, and 40 Offensive Rebounds 56.3% were made or Reese did not rebound 31 of her missed shots or 43.7%. 2) In the last 5 games Reese had 40 offensive rebounds but only made 7 AST or 17.5% and her shooting was FG% .318%, FT .670%, 3) In Reese's last seven games, 64 shots were missed, and 43 Offensive Rebounds 67.1% or Reese did not rebound on 21 of her missed shots or 32.9%. 4) Reese within five feet leads the league with the most shots 274 making 120 or 43.8% which is the worst in the League, 5) five feet to 9 feet 4 out of 43 or 12.1%, 6) 10 feet to nineteen feet 10 out of 27 or 37.2% 7) 3Pt 2 of 11 or 18.2% 8) Of 276 layups Reese has only made 113 (40.9%) or has missed 197 layups and has picked up Offensive rebounds from her missed layups. 9) Reese has only made 29 (25.4%) of 114 shots taken from 3ft to 10ft
@@I.am_Groot That is basketball stats directly from ESPN and the WNBA, so I know basketball and because you are a reesie you do not. Reese puts up three shots, three misses, and three rebounds for one more shot for two points for 25% FG from under the basket.
Solid analysis 👍 Got me subscribed 💪💪 What a time for WNBA, so many good players. We may be witnessing their analog to the Magic-Bird era, in more ways than one
Reese shouldn't even be in the discussion for rookie of the year. She consistently misses easy lay ups, then grabs her own easy rebound. Padding her rebound stats. She's not even half the player that Clark is. It's a joke to even mention her in the same discussion as Clark.
Great video, love your channel! Nice to see you present the good and the bad of Angel Reese. Too many people jumping on one side or the other. I agree with you wholeheartedly that CC should be a shoo-in ROY but I also agree that Angel will get better and better. Both players should loom large in the ever-improving future of the WNBA.
Someone commented here that AR's weakness was basketball... I disagree... Not really... I believe her weakness is her over confused EGO and her insecurities as a whole. Why the need to pad her stats? Public image. Why the need to show up before her game looking like she just attended a Studio 54 jet-set? Attention seeker. Why the need to Celebrate her teammates attacking the Real Star C.Clark? Attention to herself to be included...Why the C.Clark 'taunting' which is unnecessary if she's "That Good" of a player..? Recognition. Has she ever had a Triple-Double.? NO How about 3 point shots? (consistently, like Clark)? Never.. maybe a random lucky shot here and there... Why the need for all the aggressiveness towards Clark if there is really no animosity? Envy. Her saying that she never meant any of it just like stating that Dejonnay Carrington never meant to poke Caitlin's eye or Mock her after that Elbow foul. Or Angel Saying she was "going after the ball" where she nearly Ripped C. Clark's Head..?? Or Denying that 80% of Clark's Fouls have been committed by the Chicago Sky... Insecurities, Envy, Hate & Malice is what makes causes a person to develop ill intentions towards another when a weak attention seeking Ego goes out of control, not basketball...
I just keep thinking that they could have won so many games if they didn't try to force feed Reese who is super inefficient and instead gave the ball more to Cardoso who shoots at a way higher % and is also taller, hence harder to block
This is the first non-bias feeling video I've seen on the two rookies. It made me understand and appreciate what Angel Reece is about. Everything mentioned was valid and well constructed.
I heard the made a new stat line for Reese, it’s called “Mebounds”. That’s when you get rebounds during garbage time that doesn’t affect the game and the starters are usually pulled. If sky wants to make the playoffs, they better play Cardoso more, she is a more efficient player.
Reese purposely makes the ball bounce off the rim so she can catch the ball and successfully throws the ball into the basket!! This is how she purposely PADS her stats. Now that she has pulled out of the race for Rookie of the Year and team championship due to her wrist fracture. Sad to say, without her going for repeated double-double padded scores, her team is playing much better without her!!🏀✨️💖✨️💖✨️😇
When all of the starters were pulled from the floor (on both teams) in the game against the Fever, Reese had 5 points and 9 rebounds. She was left in the game even though they were down by over 20. And she got her double double against backups. In the end, she won't get ROTY anyway - but I think she will learn her lesson.
Don't forget the games where she literally got her dbl dbl with under a minute left attacking and getting fouled in already decided games where she should've been dribbling it out
Ah the 'she a stat padder' ok so that either means you think other W ballers are too dumb to pad their stats.. OR you think she just better at it than them. Lol
@@TheOnlyMJS To me the real ones balance and are not selfish about it and then there are ballers like James Harden. I agree its WIN that is the only goal that should matter but also ballers get paid off things that be seen on stat sheets. So I get it on that level if you can get Brooke Lopez money instead of Alex Caruso money that is going to drive folks to stats
If she focuses more on her offense she’d be a great. She is the clumsiest appearing player on the court with barely any vertical and sloppy footwork; no body control. A’ja, on the other hand has it all. To compare CC to Reese is like comparing a QB to a linebacker.
Shaq once said that the center and power forward are supposed to be the be the most efficient scorers on the team. This is because they are taking the highest percentage shots on the court.
Diamond and Carter should be fired along with the Coach of Chicago. Coach says nothing about the football hits her players make on CC. They should all be kicked out of the WNBA permanently!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reese isnt a threat from anywhere on the court. Shes got hustle and strength. Thats it!!! Zero skill and the ugliest shot I've ever seen. Not a single post move, shes got 2 left feet because shes never taken the right step! Noodle arms and the most immature style of desperation ball ive ever seen! She can't even run! When have we considered pointless rebounding as a positive to team basketball? Dennis rodman destroyed players with his defence whilst rebounding like a demon against much bigger players! Reese doesn't defend she just swipes loose balls. Everyone has the opportunity to improve, but she clearly thinks rebounds are the most valuable thing in the game. Imagine if clark had A'ja, sabrina, maybrey or griner, she'd average atleast 5 more assists per game!!! Clark makes most of the plays, shoots the best, always scores. Clark leads reese in pts, 3s freethrows, assists, steals, blocks, and Eff! Reese leads in rebounds and less turnovers. Clark is -50% rebounds, but +350% for assists! Statistically, reese is atrocious, if you watch the game, shes even worse!
Used to fw this channel heavy for covering the ball bros. Caitlin is undoubtedly ROTY however, Angel is a good player in her own perspective. She cleans up her footwork and finishing around the rim and she’s a monster. Caitlin cleans up her TOs she’s even better.
The problem is that people are either overexaggerating how good Reese's double-doubles are and how bad CC's turnovers are, OR they overexaggerate how good CC is and how bad Reese is because she gets rebounds from failed shots. It's hard to find people who actually use their eyes and are objective
@@FriendlyBatDoom That is one of the things they also like to talk about her being the only W player that sells tickets that is not true either. And overall they like to talk about Clark as if the W should cater to her like she was LeBron or something and that just is not true. We will see how this goes next season. If Clark comes out ballin and the Fever start winning on a real level her fan base will most likely grow more toxic towards vets and other stars and if as I predict it will be a longer process and other players will gain more of a following as the W fan base increases it should settle down and we can all enjoy the W on a more balanced level. Clark is doing great things but it should not lessen the work of all the other people who make this league what it is today
@@beatsbyjc And that gives us reason to celebrate the come up.. These folks who think it means they need to talk down on other player in the process are the problem
CC out runs out scores out assists out plays all other players in the WNBA. She is the better team leader, shown by how she is leading her team to victories and playoffs. She is raising each team mate up and assisting each one to play better with each game and that really shows. She sets the best example of what a basket ball player does and it shows she believes and thinks focus, practice, and winning are all that matter. She is taking her team to win the WNBA playoffs, without a doubt.
If she gets 5 per game and we've seen her get 2, 3, and even 4 on one possession, how do you figure she'd still lead the league without her own shitty misses?
@@ITOROUWEMIKPE If it were not for Clark we would be seeing Reese quite a bit. I appreciate a rivalry but this ESPN style 'lets turn the fans against players for sport' is not the way to do it
Honestly if she is the best Offensive Rebounder; Chicago should change the game plan of using her as point of scoring to hitting more 3s and letting her get the missed shots.
The comments are confusing. Nevertheless, this is good breakdown of AR game and her potential. Not focusing on things outside of basketball between AR and CC. The media just sucks sometimes. Anyway, Great video.
Someone made the perfect NBA comparison- Jayson Williams. Awesome rebounder, decent defender and decidedly average offensive player. There are three limiting factors to Reece's game - lack of shooting ability, cant jump over a phone book, and the biggest is her attitude
You aren't facing opposition on the freethrow line. That greatly increases your chances of scoring. How often does she get an offensive board and pass it to an open player? Not until she reaches her DD or is hopelessly cornered so in effect, never. Yes, occasionally she actually jumps a few inches to grab a rebound, but she's incessantly playing hero ball instead of helping her team win. The sole reason she is playing instead of Cardona is her connection to Caitlin Clark and thus her notoriety is a positive within The Caitlin Clark Effect. Sheryl Swoopes, in her fraudulent attempt to crown her ROTY, even admitted on her podcast that Reese was statpadding and she was ok with that. Now that other teams aren't standing back so she can get another DD her numbers will decline. And if she ever acquires a team attitude her assists will go up, her shooting percentage will rise and her rebounds will actually matter.
Reese is top 10 in FT made. Shooting better from the FT line than in college. The W is a rough place for rookies. Clark being a great rookie doesn't diminish what other ballers are doing.
CONFUSING or just lacking offensive skills?? Her Rebounding alone makes her a candidate for Defensive Player---SINCE REBOUNDS ARE A DEFENSIVE STATS! And Dennis Rodman, or Ben Wallace were NEVER EVER EVER in the conversation of MVP!!!! And her misses would make her a clear winner of SHAQTIN' A FOOL !🤣
@@johnwayne9828 offensive rebounds ARE STILL REBOUNDS, and with almost zero offensive skills, She is exactly like a Rodman or Ben Wallace WHO NEVER EVER WERE CONSIDERED FOR MVP. Name me a Rookie of the year who's only talent and qualifiaction is REBOUNDING. NAME ONE !
I believe in the middle of the Season this was a close and arguable topic. Clark Pulled away and Reese’s play dipped. They are both great at what they do. Clark just had a better rookie season, it’s not even close
Reese was the same in college. I never saw the media get this excited over an Andre Drummond stat line.
she's copy of him. And in NBA no one cared about him
i mean there’s a reason nobody cared about Drummond lmfao
@@mr.longjohn0014 the same reason. He wasn't good defender, grabbed his own rebounds.
So accurate
But if you project her to become the best player in the WNBA she's really good
You say that AR just throws the ball up at the basket and hopes that it goes in. Absolutely correct. She has absolutely no shooting form. This girl is NOT a basketball player, and for sure not even on the same planet as Caitlin Clark. I actually feel sorry for her when I watch her trying to run. No coordination running and for sure not shooting the basketball. To even consider this a competition with CC is completely crazy. It never has been.
shes not nearly as good as clark, but saying she's "not a basketball player" is wild lol
She's a good player, a great defensive player, and a damn good rebounder! He's on top of the Rookie list this year...you can't diminish her play about that like haters do!
Exactly, I had a high school player like her. The coach before me had ruined her.
@@Buckseed I am an LSU fan so I am not a hater but I am knowledgeable and Reese is a sloppy shooter under the basket. Sloppy shooting under the basketball from your big player cost you games.She needs discipline .

@@Summer97_ I was referring to Russell Westbrook and him stat padding triple doubles. In which he eventually made Triple Doubles irrelevant,
Never heard that! Good line 👍
AR isn't even the best rookie on her own team. The sky are losing games to get AR her stats
In 100 words or less can you tell me why Reese is not the best rookie on the Sky? Chicago is losing games because they have two rookies starting and a new head coach. Not a hard basketball concept to figure out
@@Fuglicia-is7oz Oh ok. With that kind of explanation what could be wrong with it...lmao
@@I.am_Grootthe sky are losing because they play losing basketball trying to accommodate to ankle grease
@I.am_Groot one word efficacy. If you switch KC and AR playing time. The sky would have won half the games they lost, and KC stats would be amazing. AR would be a better player with less stats. Less point from fewer forced shots. Then, fewer rebounds if she kicked the ball to wide open teammates.
@@ace1gl So you believe Reese not as good because IF a bunch of other stuff had happened and IF those things worked then maybe Chicago would win more games. Nah. 🚫
She also broke the record for the most missed layups
Doesn't CC lead the league in turnovers, has one of the lowest 3-point shooting percentages in the league? She is one of the worst defensive players in the league also. Everybody post her up about 15 times a game.
@@themajicman745 CCs is also one of the leagues highest ball handlers so its not really an argument to say that "oh look at her turnovers".... but also CCs 3pt percentage is actually higher than ARs field goal percentage so the fact CC is more likely to score a 3 pointer than AR is to score a layup is even wilder
@@themajicman745 come on now. Two different impacts. One is the conductor of an offense that she's new to and the other plays primarily in the box where reaction is more valued than skill. One plays under control, looks world class and the other just throws up wild shots and gets them back because no one else anticipates that she will miss that badly.
@@shuahokonmah5151haha hit em with the uno reverse
her own misses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think her weakness is basketball
Facts and I concur
Her own ego.
She should have choose volleyball
I think her weakness is coordination. She shoots like someone trying to shoo a bee away from their face.
No, it's the fake hype that's boostes her ego so much that she's now blind to the gaps in her game.
She needs people around her who will actually be real with her and stop her from letting her ego limit her ceiling.
E.g. having a "bully-ball" style is fine....but not if you're bad at finishing!
She shoots the ball like she's drunk. The team trainers should help her with shooting.
She's so high on her own greatness that she may be above correction.
Her 1.8 GPA And her resting BTCH face attitude problem doesn't exactly inspire confidence or a teachable asset.
love how you didn’t hate on Reese and gave your respect towards her and showing that she has potential a great contrast from a lot of the content I see about her. great video man
That's the key. There's no doubt Reese has the potential to be an all time great, but Caitlin is great now, and will be even better in the future.
@ all people deserve some basic respect
@ what-
Angel is shooting 43% from within 5 feet. That is the worst in the WNBA, the league averages 59%.
Her jumpshot is a struggle. She shooting 18% three-pointers and 31% mid range August 26 she was four for 16.
And people think she is rookie of the year material? Padded double double figures. Numbers do not lie!
if she wasn't a black lesbian, she'd be out of the league by now.
Keep in mind that she is 6'3. She would struggle at most YMCA pick up games.
In the men's game, she has guard size with worse than Shaq skills
@@mikevismyelement The fact she is very tall for a female is the sole reason she's even in the WNBA. In the WNBA tall players like Griner and Reese can simply overpower other women. That doesn;t exist in the NBA, as the vast majority of overly big/tall players were either mediocre or busts. You can't just win at the NBA from being big and tall alone. That's because there's a MASSIVE skill difference between men and women's ball
If CC doesn’t win rookie of the year I’m not watching WNBA anymore
Oh no idk how the league will survive if you stop watching man 😂

@XChronicHash trust me they need as much views as they can get
43% from shots 5 feet and closer is so pathetically bad. Not to mention her entire coaching staff was stat padding for her to keep those double doubles. Imagine playing one of your starters 10 extra minutes in a blowout to get rebounds lol

They're literally introducing categories like PER, RAPTOR, and Census to argue that Reese will be rookie MVP over Clark. Guaranteed those stat categories won't be brought up in next years rookie race. The roadblocks being put in place for Clark by people who are claiming to be the victims is absurd.
It looks ridiculous. Clumsy, over and over uncoordinated lunging and lurching at the basket, just hoping something goes in, hoping to make a basket. Who thinks that is skillful basket ball playing?

@@1olpoorboy I am a basketball junkie 😊 I care.
AR 20 shots to get 10 points is the reason her team loses.
So yeah the double double is not only pointless but negative
The numbers say Cardoso is better. That isn't shocking since she was taken ahead of Reese
what numbers????????
@@itz_zinzy she shoots a better % and also actually blocks shots. Reese currently averages 6 more minutes than her, if Cardoso played 32 mins per game, she'd easily rack up double doubles. She's currently averaging 9 points and 8 rebounds, on 51% shooting with 1.3 blocks per game. Her blocks, that's 7th highest in the entire league. She's way more efficient while actually playing impactful defense as a big.
If Cardoso moves to another team where she'll actually be used to her full abilities, she'll be a much bigger star than Reese. Way more skilled and more likeable as a person
@@itz_zinzy all of them except garbage time numbers against bench warmers
Cardoso is being penalized and held back in her development so Reese can stat pad.
Reese's game has a number of offensive deficiencies. Why she isn't in the gym working with a fundamentals coach is baffling...until you realize that she'd rather start a podcast and play the victim than actually work on her skills.

Very messy
AJ is a man
Reese also quits playing after a miss or a mistake while her team is retreating to stop the fast break.
This is a balanced commentary
Reese is her own worst enemy
Her teammates are giving her the cold shoulder cause of how bad her shooting has been and they’re getting tired of her patting her stats and loosing games because of it. WNBA needs to be scared of CC if she’s cooking like this on her rookie season imagine once she’s been in the league for a few seasons.
they still go out and cold cock CC by reese's orders so they still have her back.
Caitlyn Clark all but has the playoffs locked up. Angel Reese is VERY close to being irrelevant for the rest of the season. A few more losses and Reese's season is over.
Her teammates are passively rebelling against the coach by losing games.
The only reason I've even heard of Reese is because of Caitlin Clark.
The only reason why I even watched a women's college game was because of CC,
CC has brought more exposure to women's basketball, then Diani, Sue, Swoops, Weatherspoon, Lobo, Donne, Parker, that one girl that got traded for a arms dealing serial killer for some reason, and other great women's players have ever done. None of them could do it no matter how good they were. None of them were a "draw", and WNBA has never ever been profitable. WNBA tv contract is 50 mil per year. With CC effect they're now possibly going to sign a 2 BILLION for 11 years.
CC rookie debut drew 2.1 million viewers, the most watched WNBA in history at the time.
CC Iowa vs UConn drew nearly _15 million viewers_. _CC and Iowa drew 19 million viewers._
To put that into perspective, That's more than:
*• Every World Series game last year.
• Every NBA Finals game last year.
• Every Daytona 500 since 2013.
• Every Masters final round viewership since 2013.
• All but five CFB games in 2023.*
CC does what no other female player has ever done. make people care, and women hate her for it. Man, Barkley is right.
WNBA players will be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor more than ever because of CC, and they ... hate her for it?
WNBA players will be able to support their families better than they ever have and... they hate CC for it?
The potential TV contract, all because of CC, and all the other new contracts that players will sign for endorsements will be further bolstered with the CC effect.
Without CC, WNBA falls back into obscurity, drawing as many viewers as a dog show, and because meme joke with people sleeping court side. And they don't deserve that.
Why can't everybody be like ,
DAMN CC, thanks for all love you're bring to our game. Now lets get out there and show everyone what we're all capable of doing!
Now that CC has brought in all the eyes, now people will give us all a chance and lets play our hearts out and show we were entertaining all along!
No more butt of jokes, no more memes, no more replies in comments on wnba highlights that were unrelated to the game.
I remember WNBA highlight videos and comments would be: "guys I saved money on insurance switching to Geico" or "thinking about some Panda express or Chipotle what do you guys think?"
Caitlin, has done something that ESPN, or any other TV outlet, marketing, even the NBA couldn't do in over TWENTY YEARS.
And that is make PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WATCHING THE WNBA.
...... and the toxic women in the wnba...hate her for it.??? 🤷♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀
To be honest, the WNBA doesn't DESERVE Caitlin Clark.
This 1000%
I never watched a full WNBA game until clark.
I have never watched a women's College basketball game until Clark, I have never watched a WNBA until Clark
I bought a Clark Jersey because of Clark.
I would have done none of these things without Clark. She is marketable, likeable, humble.
Like you said, Clark has done something that the marketing dept, and every tv hosting hasn't been able to do. And that is make me care.
I enjoy watching it now.
And, I believe the reason so many people have not watched WNBA in the past is the same reason as why Angel Reese is not an ROY contender. A "Pro" throwing up brick after brick is not exciting or enjoyable to watch. On the other hand, Clark's logo 3's and inside passes are awesome. I can throw up bricks like Angel Reese all day, but I can't nail long 3's or make passes with surgical precision. When a person is a "professional,' their game should be impressive. Watching Angel Reese fling the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the basket, and miss, and get her own rebound so she can fling the ball again...ugh.That's is what basketball looked like in junior high. It shouldn't look like that in the WNBA.

If she has potential, it’s hard to see?
Naw it ain’t really hard to see u just have to look without bias. His comp with A’Ja was spot on.
She just look so fukkin awkward on the layups as a big and her court IQ is so terrible sometimes, on top of all the hype and then shoving her down our throats, I get it lol
I don’t follow the WNBA but they always had a hard on for tall girls that can rebound lol
A.R. is too impressed with her body and half naked photo shoots then getting on the gym and work on her shot
I like how you mentioned her weakness as well as her strenght and potential. You gained a sub. 😊
That was a compelling analysis. Well reasoned and convincing. Thanks.
Her best attribute is her hustle.
Can't take anything away from her relentless energy, she plays hard all the time. The problem is she isn't very good at anything outside of grabbing missed shots, many of which are her OWN missed shots. Her shooting percentage is atrocious, especially considering she is a low post player.
She is also incredibly selfish, rarely kicking the ball back out to an open teammate, and usually just chucking up another miss so she can pile up the offensive rebound stats that people use to promote her as something special. She is a mediocre player who owes her entire career to Caitlyn Clark, whom she successfully latched herself onto back in college by fabricating a rivalry against her based on pretending Clark's "can't see me" hand gesture was about her and her team, when it had nothing to do with them at all.
Her obvious jealousy of Clark is undeniable, and it doesn't help that half the league is also envious of Clark to the point where they're all pretending Reese isn't just some overrated, selfish player.
I think her national championship speaks to that hustle and to her ability to grow into her game at a higher level. It is funny though when the NBA early last season had talk of would someone challenge Wemby for ROY and it was seen as petty and jealous. I think a lot of males are projecting a bit and ballers in the W could teach them some things about competition. Good points and the best thing is people outside the normal W conversation are speaking on the league a lot more. That is not all Clark's doing but she is bringing attention where its needed

And the greatest NBA players also her high turnover. The more active you are, the greater the chance of that. It's not a meaningful stat.
If she's getting the rebounds for them they negate each other. You should be asking why aren't the opposing team grabbing the ball from her.
@Nestle245 that is the question. Fever were able to stop her. There was another team early on the stopped her streak. It's true that most teams don't seem aa interested in trying.

Clark’s better than her overall and not a competition. Padding your stats to get double doubles instead of focusing on winning is not something that should be rewarded. Caitlin’s focusing of doing whatever to win while Reese just wants to make sure she gets that double double so that she can beat Caitlin in the roty race that shouldn’t even be a race. Reese is obsessed with Clark while Clark is obsessed with winning games as a team.

@@MrPppitts1 The humility and willingness to praise others is a good indication of a healthy ego. I think Reese's ego and mouth get in her way as much as any physical shortcomings. Look at the Fever vs. last year, then look at the Sky vs. last year. A dominant player makes the whole team better, not worse.
What is confusing is that there are individuals who see Reese as being a generational player who are just confused, and as for Clark she has her own Double Doubles points and assists, and a triple Double Double.

Point 3) Double-doubles achieved with points/assists are much rarer in the WNBA where 144 players over 132 games there have been only 24 points/assists double-doubles (0.16 per game)
Point 3a) It is less common at one every 6.25 games and of the 144 players Clark has 6 of them or 25% of the total.
Point 4) Even less common for Guards as Clark in just half a season just broke a 40 game Season record for 8 Dbl Dbls points/assists & Dbl Dbls Points/rebounds for Guards, a record that had stood for 27 years
Because this has never been done, this is an excellent reason, Clark's combined Points and Assists lead Wilson's combined Points and assists! Leading the league with 27 pts looks good, but this looks better

@@DonaldBruceSmith
Good post!
I heard someone recently who represented Clark's point contribution by adding her points scored with the points scored from assists! The number was huge!
I find it crazy how she can out rebound ppl but can’t jump off the ground for a layup
2 Questions. A: What percentage of her rebounds are from her own missed shots? B: How many of her rebounds are in garbage time? For example, I just watched Fever beat Sky 100 to 81. With around 4 minutes left in the game, when the game was virtually over, both teams pulled all their starters off the court and put the bench in. Except for one player. Angle Reese played to the end of the game so she could inflate her double doubles. She got her final shot to get the double double with 30 seconds in the game.
For comparison, according to Chicks Digs Scars Sport, CC22 currently leads WNBA guards in FG% in the paint, with 62+...
No way for Angel. Wait next 2 years with or without rookie title. No IQ, no finish, no shoot, don't care the team, don't care the ligue, only rebonds and tiktok champ.
Nothing is confusing about Reese and her playing - she cannot dribble, and stands under the basket, rebounding her own bricks that she missed, she cannot pass or will not pass the ball.
there is really no merit to Dbl, Dbl Points and Rebounds -
Point 1) There have been 6,725 double-doubles in WNBA history by 203 different players, Hardly Special.
Point 2) Double-doubles achieved with points/rebounds assists are much more common in 132 WNBA games there have been 146 points/rebound (1.11) or one every game -
With 144 players in the WNBA - once again it occurs so often and is hardly special as it is a very Common Occurrence.
Point 3) Double-doubles achieved with points/assists are much rarer in the WNBA where 144 players over 132 games there have been only 24 points/assists double-doubles (0.16 per game)
1) In Reese's last 5 games, 71 shots were taken, 23 shots were made or 32.3%, and 40 Offensive Rebounds 56.3% were made or Reese did not rebound 31 of her missed shots or 43.7%.
2) In the last 5 games Reese had 40 offensive rebounds but only made 7 AST or 17.5% and her shooting was FG% .318%, FT .670%,
3) In Reese's last seven games, 64 shots were missed, and 43 Offensive Rebounds 67.1% or Reese did not rebound on 21 of her missed shots or 32.9%.
4) Reese within five feet leads the league with the most shots 274 making 120 or 43.8% which is the worst in the League,
5) five feet to 9 feet 4 out of 43 or 12.1%,
6) 10 feet to nineteen feet 10 out of 27 or 37.2%
7) 3Pt 2 of 11 or 18.2%
8) Of 276 layups Reese has only made 113 (40.9%) or has missed 197 layups and has picked up Offensive rebounds from her missed layups.
9) Reese has only made 29 (25.4%) of 114 shots taken from 3ft to 10ft
Lots of words... very little grasp of actual basketball. Congrats.. you are a model Caitlin Clark fan.
@@I.am_Groot
That is basketball stats directly from ESPN and the WNBA, so I know basketball and because you are a reesie you do not.
Reese puts up three shots, three misses, and three rebounds for one more shot for two points for 25% FG from under the basket.

She isn't confusing. She is all about herself and is not a team player.
Solid analysis 👍 Got me subscribed 💪💪
What a time for WNBA, so many good players. We may be witnessing their analog to the Magic-Bird era, in more ways than one
Reese shouldn't even be in the discussion for rookie of the year. She consistently misses easy lay ups, then grabs her own easy rebound. Padding her rebound stats. She's not even half the player that Clark is. It's a joke to even mention her in the same discussion as Clark.
Great unbiased viewpoint. Thanks for sharing
Watching Reese play is eye-bleach
Great video, love your channel! Nice to see you present the good and the bad of Angel Reese. Too many people jumping on one side or the other. I agree with you wholeheartedly that CC should be a shoo-in ROY but I also agree that Angel will get better and better. Both players should loom large in the ever-improving future of the WNBA.
Finally, somebody speaks the truth.You can play with the ball off the wall all day long.But that don't mean you got shit if you can't shoot
Someone commented here that AR's weakness was basketball... I disagree... Not really... I believe her weakness is her over confused EGO and her insecurities as a whole. Why the need to pad her stats? Public image. Why the need to show up before her game looking like she just attended a Studio 54 jet-set? Attention seeker. Why the need to Celebrate her teammates attacking the Real Star C.Clark? Attention to herself to be included...Why the C.Clark 'taunting' which is unnecessary if she's "That Good" of a player..? Recognition. Has she ever had a Triple-Double.? NO How about 3 point shots? (consistently, like Clark)? Never.. maybe a random lucky shot here and there... Why the need for all the aggressiveness towards Clark if there is really no animosity? Envy. Her saying that she never meant any of it just like stating that Dejonnay Carrington never meant to poke Caitlin's eye or Mock her after that Elbow foul. Or Angel Saying she was "going after the ball" where she nearly Ripped C. Clark's Head..?? Or Denying that 80% of Clark's Fouls have been committed by the Chicago Sky... Insecurities, Envy, Hate & Malice is what makes causes a person to develop ill intentions towards another when a weak attention seeking Ego goes out of control, not basketball...
I just keep thinking that they could have won so many games if they didn't try to force feed Reese who is super inefficient and instead gave the ball more to Cardoso who shoots at a way higher % and is also taller, hence harder to block
This is the first non-bias feeling video I've seen on the two rookies. It made me understand and appreciate what Angel Reece is about.
Everything mentioned was valid and well constructed.
The truth is, if today I know these players, like AR, it's because became fan of a new legend CC.
I heard the made a new stat line for Reese, it’s called “Mebounds”. That’s when you get rebounds during garbage time that doesn’t affect the game and the starters are usually pulled.
If sky wants to make the playoffs, they better play Cardoso more, she is a more efficient player.
Reese purposely makes the ball bounce off the rim so she can catch the ball and successfully throws the ball into the basket!! This is how she purposely PADS her stats. Now that she has pulled out of the race for Rookie of the Year and team championship due to her wrist fracture.
Sad to say, without her going for repeated double-double padded scores, her team is playing much better without her!!🏀✨️💖✨️💖✨️😇
When all of the starters were pulled from the floor (on both teams) in the game against the Fever, Reese had 5 points and 9 rebounds. She was left in the game even though they were down by over 20. And she got her double double against backups. In the end, she won't get ROTY anyway - but I think she will learn her lesson.
I'm thoroughly convinced she practices missing to get a rebound and stat pad
Première fans tout le temps vraiment tué fort fierté d'être toi❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Caitlin Clark is not just the rookie of the year but also in the running for MVP.
No
Nope
She not winning the damn mvp
no its aja wilson lmaoo
Wilson might be the Most Outstanding Player this season, but financially and for exposure, Clark is already the league all-time MVP
Good unbiasedness in this one, W video 💯
I appreciate that!
Don't forget the games where she literally got her dbl dbl with under a minute left attacking and getting fouled in already decided games where she should've been dribbling it out
Ah the 'she a stat padder' ok so that either means you think other W ballers are too dumb to pad their stats.. OR you think she just better at it than them. Lol
@@I.am_GrootAnyone who pads their stats are dumb. From the star to 15th. It should be all about the wins.
@@TheOnlyMJS To me the real ones balance and are not selfish about it and then there are ballers like James Harden. I agree its WIN that is the only goal that should matter but also ballers get paid off things that be seen on stat sheets. So I get it on that level if you can get Brooke Lopez money instead of Alex Caruso money that is going to drive folks to stats
For a person thats so concerned on how she looks (shes definitely not a looker) its amazing shes not concerned on how bad she looks on the court
You're blaming Angel Reese for what the media is saying about her. This video should be about the media. Set yr target indicators on straight
You almost had me til the shameless glazing towards the end 😂😂😂😂
If she focuses more on her offense she’d be a great. She is the clumsiest appearing player on the court with barely any vertical and sloppy footwork; no body control. A’ja, on the other hand has it all. To compare CC to Reese is like comparing a QB to a linebacker.
Shaq once said that the center and power forward are supposed to be the be the most efficient scorers on the team. This is because they are taking the highest percentage shots on the court.
1:19 she fell because she cant walk jump or run. no athleticism.
6:57 mabery's face in the background, too funny.
@@Jv_Dharmabuddy says u. U are a YMCA hooper talkin about a professional athletes athleticism 😂
She cant jump because she has to pull that 20 lb eye lash and 30 lb wig 😂
When teams focus on padding a Rookies stats you not only disrespect your own teams veterans. You miss the playoffs. 😢
Diamond and Carter should be fired along with the Coach of Chicago. Coach says nothing about the football hits her players make on CC. They should all be kicked out of the WNBA permanently!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to think she was pretty but after somebody called her Sid, I cannot unsee it.😂
Reese isnt a threat from anywhere on the court. Shes got hustle and strength. Thats it!!! Zero skill and the ugliest shot I've ever seen. Not a single post move, shes got 2 left feet because shes never taken the right step! Noodle arms and the most immature style of desperation ball ive ever seen! She can't even run! When have we considered pointless rebounding as a positive to team basketball? Dennis rodman destroyed players with his defence whilst rebounding like a demon against much bigger players! Reese doesn't defend she just swipes loose balls. Everyone has the opportunity to improve, but she clearly thinks rebounds are the most valuable thing in the game. Imagine if clark had A'ja, sabrina, maybrey or griner, she'd average atleast 5 more assists per game!!! Clark makes most of the plays, shoots the best, always scores.
Clark leads reese in pts, 3s freethrows, assists, steals, blocks, and Eff! Reese leads in rebounds and less turnovers.
Clark is -50% rebounds, but +350% for assists!
Statistically, reese is atrocious, if you watch the game, shes even worse!
Used to fw this channel heavy for covering the ball bros. Caitlin is undoubtedly ROTY however, Angel is a good player in her own perspective. She cleans up her footwork and finishing around the rim and she’s a monster. Caitlin cleans up her TOs she’s even better.
This video is so funny that even my kettle boiled over with laughter💕
Your kettle melted just like its delusional owner
So all the teams need to start stopping her from recovering her own misses.
The problem is that people are either overexaggerating how good Reese's double-doubles are and how bad CC's turnovers are, OR they overexaggerate how good CC is and how bad Reese is because she gets rebounds from failed shots. It's hard to find people who actually use their eyes and are objective
@@Cremlindor TRUE THAT! Let’s also keep in mind the tremendous influx of Fan girls. They don’t understand the game.
The only thing CC fans are exaggerating is that she is the WNBA MVP over A'ja Wilson.
@@FriendlyBatDoom That is one of the things they also like to talk about her being the only W player that sells tickets that is not true either. And overall they like to talk about Clark as if the W should cater to her like she was LeBron or something and that just is not true. We will see how this goes next season. If Clark comes out ballin and the Fever start winning on a real level her fan base will most likely grow more toxic towards vets and other stars and if as I predict it will be a longer process and other players will gain more of a following as the W fan base increases it should settle down and we can all enjoy the W on a more balanced level. Clark is doing great things but it should not lessen the work of all the other people who make this league what it is today
@@I.am_Groot She’s not the only player that brings in fans but by far she brings in the the most fans and it’s not close
@@beatsbyjc And that gives us reason to celebrate the come up.. These folks who think it means they need to talk down on other player in the process are the problem
CC out runs out scores out assists out plays all other players in the WNBA. She is the better team leader, shown by how she is leading her team to victories and playoffs. She is raising each team mate up and assisting each one to play better with each game and that really shows. She sets the best example of what a basket ball player does and it shows she believes and thinks focus, practice, and winning are all that matter. She is taking her team to win the WNBA playoffs, without a doubt.
Crazy part is if you eliminate all the OREB she got from her own misses she still leads the league in OREB 😂
Cap lol
@@Kevy808 ruclips.net/user/shorts2-5oYWSCTHQ?si=YCPfvEmDn5L3E0QQ
Does being wrong pay well or sumn cus it's an easily verifiable stat. 🤦🏿♂️🤣
What’s the point in her getting these OREBs if she is just gonna throw it back up towards the rim using no aim just hoping it goes in
If she gets 5 per game and we've seen her get 2, 3, and even 4 on one possession, how do you figure she'd still lead the league without her own shitty misses?
Reese makes Rodman look like a sharp shooter, and that's saying something.

No

Objective and accurate analysis of Reese’s game
The comments are confusing. Nevertheless, this is good breakdown of AR game and her potential. Not focusing on things outside of basketball between AR and CC. The media just sucks sometimes. Anyway, Great video.
Someone made the perfect NBA comparison- Jayson Williams. Awesome rebounder, decent defender and decidedly average offensive player.
There are three limiting factors to Reece's game - lack of shooting ability, cant jump over a phone book, and the biggest is her attitude
You aren't facing opposition on the freethrow line. That greatly increases your chances of scoring. How often does she get an offensive board and pass it to an open player? Not until she reaches her DD or is hopelessly cornered so in effect, never. Yes, occasionally she actually jumps a few inches to grab a rebound, but she's incessantly playing hero ball instead of helping her team win. The sole reason she is playing instead of Cardona is her connection to Caitlin Clark and thus her notoriety is a positive within The Caitlin Clark Effect. Sheryl Swoopes, in her fraudulent attempt to crown her ROTY, even admitted on her podcast that Reese was statpadding and she was ok with that. Now that other teams aren't standing back so she can get another DD her numbers will decline. And if she ever acquires a team attitude her assists will go up, her shooting percentage will rise and her rebounds will actually matter.
Reese is top 10 in FT made. Shooting better from the FT line than in college. The W is a rough place for rookies. Clark being a great rookie doesn't diminish what other ballers are doing.
every time Reese misses so she can get another rebound she's taking an assist from a teammate. Selfish player.
Her coach is the same way. The foolishness comes from the top down. If she doesn’t watch it, she’ll be outta the league in a few years
The fact that anyone is watching the video is bc of CC.
CONFUSING or just lacking offensive skills?? Her Rebounding alone makes her a candidate for Defensive Player---SINCE REBOUNDS ARE A DEFENSIVE STATS! And Dennis Rodman, or Ben Wallace were NEVER EVER EVER in the conversation of MVP!!!! And her misses would make her a clear winner of SHAQTIN' A FOOL !🤣
😂😂😂she set the record for OFFENSIVE mvps. That's not defense.
@@johnwayne9828 offensive rebounds ARE STILL REBOUNDS, and with almost zero offensive skills, She is exactly like a Rodman or Ben Wallace WHO NEVER EVER WERE CONSIDERED FOR MVP. Name me a Rookie of the year who's only talent and qualifiaction is REBOUNDING. NAME ONE !
@@DerekLaugann I think you misunderstood my comment. I want clark to win the award.
If i can remember, she's shooting 45ish % from 0-8 feet which is historically bad even for wnba
I believe in the middle of the Season this was a close and arguable topic. Clark Pulled away and Reese’s play dipped. They are both great at what they do. Clark just had a better rookie season, it’s not even close
