Much like Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren in the NBA, the debate is raging between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark on the WNBA side.

The Sky player has just achieved a new record, but not without some nuances to add.

With the WNBA back in action over a week ago, fans have started debating again, especially over the rookie of the year.

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are now the favorites, with the Fever shooter having the edge.

But Reese is doing some great things, like her 13 points and 20 rebounds with the Sky this Friday night.

Angel Reese is the first player in WNBA history to string together a back-to-back 20 rebounds.

Angel Reese Pinned For Her Bounces

There’s no doubt that Reese knows how to rack up rebounds in every game, to the point where many want to see her become rookie of the year. Is it deserved?

Well, some fans absolutely disagree.

Many rebounds come from the player’s own misses, who also has trouble when it comes to finishing near the rim.

An anomaly for a center.

It’s easier to accumulate rebounds when you can catch your own misses, that’s for sure.

That’s why the statistic needs to be qualified, especially since the Sky lost again and Reese finished at 3/12 shooting.

Not enough to smile about after the game.

She also breaks records for the number of missed layups.

I don’t realize how ugly this is coming from a professional athlete. It’s not even funny anymore it’s embarrassing.

Angel Reese knows how to grab rebounds, yes, but the Sky still doesn’t take advantage of it to win games. Worse, with a negative differential, the interior struggles to make the difference. It’s Caitlin Clark who can smile when we see her results.
