A fan put together a stunning video showing Chicago Sky star Angel Reese missing plenty of easy layups over the first 23 games of her rookie 2024 WNBA season.
Angel Reese has been one of the top WNBA rookies in 2024, averaging 13.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. But there’s undoubtedly room for improvement on her shooting, as she holds a 40.2 percent field goal percentage.
The @BricksCenter X/Twitter account posted a video of Reese missing an alarming amount of layups throughout her ongoing rookie campaign. The video has quickly gone viral, with over 5.9 million viewers alone on the platform.
As the video progresses, the layups look much more routine and should be easy points for Reese, but the 22-year-old somehow keeps missing:
A player with Reese’s talent level can only get better from here. Still, there’s no telling how better her stats would be if Reese made most of those easy layups.
Reese is in the middle of a superb rookie season that won’t be overlooked because of these missed routine layups. She was named to the All-Star Game in her first rookie year and has the Sky in the playoff hunt.
Social media went off:
“People talk about Caitlin getting hate, but someone sat down and spent HOURS putting together an 8 minute video with interlude clips. All to trash Angel.
A Caitlin video like this would never go viral. That’s the difference in how each is discussed. One is coddled + protected”.
“Where’s that super cut of CCs turnovers and missed three pointers? You could literally do this with any player. Hell, I could do this for all the 3s Steph Curry missed in the Olympics before the final game”.
“Remembering that people said out their mouths she deserves Rookie of the Year makes me want to cut off social media”.
Angel Reese & Sky Are The No. 8 Seed Coming Out Of Olympic Break
The Sky currently occupy the final playoff spot and No. 8 seed with a 10-14 record. They are tied with Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever (11-15) for the No. 7 seed and also just 2.5 games behind the Phoenix Mercury for the sixth seed.
Chicago has some breathing room on the ninth-seeded Atlanta Dream, who are 7-17 and three games out of the final playoff spot. So barring a collapse, Angel Reese and the Sky will be in the eight-team playoff tournament to decide the WNBA champions.
Reese and Chicago return to action on Thursday with a home tilt against Phoenix.
