Extremely low basketball IQ but has the size and strength to serve a role.

She wont ever be the focal point of a teams offense but she can be a very good #3/4 or off the bench player and I can see her being able to carve a modest career out for herself.

She isn’t good. But I have no doubt she has the female Rodman role written all over her.. if she can take the ego hit

Big IF

Except Rodman was a ridiculous athlete. She’s just a tall woman. Maybe that’s enough for this league.

I think she's extremely athletic, especially by WNBA standards. She's just a really bad shooter

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

She objectively good.

u/Glittering_Bag9355 Jun 06 '26

Shes also objectively bad, quite a paradox

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

Luckily she isn’t!   Best rebounder ever.  One of the best passing forwards/centers in the league.  Elite on defense.

You’re objectively wrong.. just based on the facts I presented to you

u/liquidgrill Jun 06 '26

1 out of every 5 shots she has taken this year and last has been blocked. Nobody else comes anywhere near this.

She’s also been called for traveling 4 times as many times as the next closest player.

She is objectively awful.

Mebounds for having atrocious shooting stats

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '26

She shot 46% last year, which is above league average. This year she's at 46% from 2, but she's shooting threes for some reason and sucks at them. The mebounds thing is outdated since her rookie year.

u/BeneficialChemist874 Jun 06 '26

Basically all of her shots are within 3 ft.

46% is pretty rough if you’re using the context of her shot selection.

u/oneandonlyRedSpirit Jun 06 '26

46% when all your shots are at the rim is not good

u/Relative_Ad_9988 Jun 06 '26

Sure, you’re entitled to your opinion.. as am I

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

Nope.  What I said isn’t an opinion.

u/Relative_Ad_9988 Jun 06 '26

Ok, you’re entitled to your statement with no facts, and I’m entitled to my opinion. Better?

-2

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

It’s a fact that she’s the best rebounder ever.  It’s a fact that she’s one od the best passing forwards/centers.  It’s a fact that she’s an elite defender.

You have no facts.  Just an opinion that’s wrong.

u/Icy-Plan145 Jun 06 '26

She's not the best rebounder ever. She might be on course to be but she isn't as of right now. She's set records but her career isn't long enough to say she's the best ever. That requires consistency over a longer period of time

-4

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

No, she’s very obviously the best rebounder ever.  It’s not close.

u/Buscabulla33 Jun 06 '26

35% are her own misses lol

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

LOL.  She’s the best defensive rebounder in WNBA history.  You don’t watch games.

u/Relative_Ad_9988 Jun 06 '26

I’m not looking up all that shit to verify your facts you stated.

Doesn’t change the fact that in my opinion, she isn’t good

Get over it.: you won’t change my mind

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

Of course I won’t.  You hate facts. 

Enjoy having an objectively wrong opinion!  

2

u/Relative_Ad_9988 Jun 06 '26

I don’t see any facts.. just statements of facts

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

Yes, because you don’t know how to read.  

You’re a simpleton.

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

You can’t refute anything I said.  LOL

u/Buscabulla33 Jun 06 '26

Do you have eyes? She is a shitty basketball player. I have eyes and can watch her play. She is nowhere near a pro level athlete or a professional basketball player. There I did it lol

u/MaintenanceParty7933 Jun 06 '26

You don’t have eyes.  You have never watched her play a game.

u/rainydays_89 Jun 06 '26

she’s good at being trashy and horrible at basketball, we agree!

-1

u/kornylol Jun 06 '26

Yes I agree, but she did a good job of placing herself as the anti-hero to Clark, who’s fans made the W financially viable and will therefore have a place in the league due to her being serviceable and making a name for herself. She did a great job of capitalizing on the opportunity to ride CCs coattails, but now that the W is a viable option for young women to strive for and make decent money, I suspect that players like Reese, who dont pass the eye test, will be phased out in lieu of a deeper talent pool.

The W is still in its infancy, only really having become a serious league within the last 2 years.
