It’s not just Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark who has been an electric WNBA rookie as Angel Reese has also made her mark as a walking double-double machine. With how impressive she has looked as a force down low against other bigs, Seattle Storm legend Sue Bird gave credit where it’s due as she spoke highly of Reese’s game on her “A Touch More” podcast.

Drafted as the seventh overall pick by the Chicago Sky, Reese is averaging 13.5 points (38.7% shooting) and 12.9 rebounds per game. What started as an impressive 20-rebound performance in an 86-68 loss against the Phoenix Mercury on Aug. 18, she recorded two more 20-rebound outings against the Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces, respectively.

“She’s continuing to rack up the double-doubles,” Bird said. “So she’s now has tied Tina Charles’ record for the amount of double-doubles in a rookie season, so she’ll likely break that. And she just had back-to-back-to-back 20-rebound games. It’s crazy. … It is incredibly impressive.”
