Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese is having a remarkable debut WNBA season, achieving double-doubles in 15 consecutive games and more.
Despite early doubts, particularly compared to players like Caitlin Clark, a recent game against the New York Liberty showed otherwise.
In a matchup against the Liberty, Reese was heavily guarded by the entire opposing team, dispelling the notion that she is not a focus of defensive attention.

Reese, assisted by Lindsay Allen, managed to score despite the intense defensive pressure from the Liberty team.
In the same game, Reese achieved 10 points and 10 rebounds, showcasing her all-around skills on the court and maintaining her impressive double-double streak.
With strong performances throughout the season, Reese is a leading candidate for the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award, boasting impressive averages of 13.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
Her main competitor for the award, Clark, is also having a standout season but Reese’s consistent double-double production sets her apart.
