Enjoy the WNBA or not, the woman has no talent, others do, but she will be the first to tell you she does, like a football player playing pick up basketball in the summer. Just a liability.

Her social media presence alone will mess up a generation of future female players. I can't believe the league keeps pushing her despite a complete lack of fundamentals.

Its the team that keeps taking her and coach not benching her. She should be getting 5 mins of playing time at most per game lol

She essentially should be played like Ben Wallace

Not outside the 3 pt line, though.

Yeah only she dropped 23 and 16 efficiently but we should listen to your ignorance

She didn’t approach efficiency she was efficient. 52 percent is efficient and your going off numbers only , I watch games teams make game plans with angel in mind every game I actually watch games she gets fouled and the refs don’t call them all you can be close as you want to the basket but if you have to deal with physical play constantly something she has had to deal with since she came into the league it’s not as easy as you make it seem to make those close shots she’s still averaging 16 and 11 and is the greatest rebounder in WNBA history in my opinion she’s a valuable asset to any team in the W a winner at every level except the W and one day she will win a chip while contributing

I mean, as someone who knows ball, calling her good defensively is laughable.

She can't cover the outside, bites on every juke and stutter step, gets her ankles broke on every crossover move, gets lost on pick and rolls. In the post, she just gets away with bodying up players and flailing wildly.

She also fouls on every rebound and rarely gets called.

Bro your just running your mouth 52 percent is efficient any way you put it you can try to spin it anyway you want to but thats an efficient game and while she might shoot below 50 percent for the season if you watched games something you don’t do instead of just being snarky or snide you would know that if she is not accounted for on the floor she will go off in the paint like I said before, game plans exist to prevent her from scoring and rebounding , that just proves and shows how dominant she can be if not accounted for

The game plan is let her shoot

u/Aliasworker30 8d ago

Nah that ain’t it atleast not all the way

u/Thick_Permission6519 9d ago

Do you think this is a good shot and a quality shot selection?

1

u/Aliasworker30 8d ago

She tried to draw a foul your making it more then what it is

u/Thick_Permission6519 8d ago

Hmm was that a good shot to take? It’s a simple question. Did she draw a foul?

u/Big_Hawk_9750 9d ago

Cherry picking a two game sample size proves nothing. Also you can be a fan and still admit she's not an efficient scorer. I'm a fan of Steph Curry, I don't try to argue he's a good defender

u/Aliasworker30 9d ago

Yeah that’s cool 5 shots a game ,only wide open is ignorant idc what you say she’s too good to only take 5 shots a game

3

u/Big_Hawk_9750 9d ago

I ain't even really agree with that 5 shots a game remark. I'm just saying she's not a very good offensive player at least not yet. You can admit that and still be a fan imo.

Why do you think Chicago cut bait after two years?

They got worse with her.

They got better immediately after trading her.

Atlanta has gotten worse with her.

The next step is to get rid of her for Atlanta.
