Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, former rivals in college, are now competing for the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award as top draft picks. Despite their individual success, they are teammates in the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
During a practice session, Reese and Clark engaged in a friendly half-court shooting contest, with Reese unexpectedly sinking the shot first. Reese, known for her post play, has faced criticism for her shooting, but has improved and is making an impact on the court.
She currently averages a double-double and holds the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles with 15. With 17 double-doubles in 23 games, she is on track to break the rookie season record of 22.
Although known for her inside game, Reese’s ability to hit a half-court shot showcases her versatility and skill on the court.
