Couldn’t be a worse player to pick as Caitlyn Clark’s rival. It’s just punching downward nearly every time.

CC is just someone who can manipulate and control the game on a high level. She’s an orchestrator. She understands how to actually play basketball and has elite advanced skills.

Reese is a scrappy player with no legit offensive fundamentals. She’s not even really boxing out to help her own team get rebounds (yes, that’s legit a thing). Defensively she not even an anchor, more like a 1v1 scrappy defender.

It’s like comparing a QB or Safety to a Full Back or Slot Corner.
Sure but tbh Caitlin gotta lot to improve on too she’s far to inconsistent one game she get 25 the next she’ll have 4 points until like 4-5 mins in the fourth

The real problem on that play was not passing it out and forcing it around all those people.

Clearly unrivaled did not translate to the WNBA unfortunately and you can say it’s two games but these are two horrible games

SHE WAS NOT HORRIBLE
IN THE FIRST GAME REGARDLESS
OF WHAT THE PERCENTAGE WOULD SAY.

IN TERMS OF EXPANSION.
SHE HAD A NICE DRIVE
TO THE BASKET FROM THE TOP
OF THE KEY
AND SHE MADE A 3.

2 THINGS SHE WASNT DOING
LAST YEAR.

LAST NIGHT SHE
MISSED THOSE 5 SHOTS/PUT BACKS
IN THE FIRST 2 MIN OF THE GAME
AND DIDNT ATTEMPT ANOTHER
SHOT UNTIL THE 4:48 MARK
OF THE 3RD QUARTER.

SHE CHECKED OUT
OF THE GAME AND DIDNT ATTEMPT
TO DO ANYTHING OFFENSIVELY
WHICH IS UNLIKE HER.
:devil:
:evil:

And that’s unacceptable all of these just sound like excuses honestly and I like Angel you know that but she gotta stop being coddled.

Cot damn, she out there making a complete mockery of the game. :scust:

If a nikka in the NBA was doing the type of shyt she is they would have him sitting the bench. Or a vet would get physical with them in the locker room.

It doesn’t matter how many rebounds you get when over half of them come from you smoking layups and getting blocked.

It’s really no comparison between the two from a basketball perspective, she’s not in CC’s stratosphere.
Yup and it’s not to say Reese can’t get better and won’t be able to win games with her play. Any player can take over.

At this point for her to take over games consistently though she has to learn how to play better individual and team basketball. Meaning understand the game on a fundamental level. Know when and how to call both her own shots doing what she does or recognize it’s time to give the ball up for the better opportunity.

She can 100% learn that and dominate in a similar way regarding high-level orchestration of an offense but different way than how Caitlyn plays (who’s more perimeter-based). Ideally, Angel would orchestrate like Giannis, Caitlyn like a Steph. However, Caitlyn is just starting off on a much higher fundamental of play which is why she’s doing it so soon.

Basically right now Caitlyn is manipulating defenses while Angel Reese is reacting to defenses or trying to brute force things. Angel can 100% learn that skill, but she needs her game to step up first in order to be a mismatch and to get her understanding of team play up so she can swing the ball. Then they’ll be much more comparable.

Giannis really should be the blueprint for her
