Angel Reese Setting It Off On The Hardwood As Well

The rookie isn’t only doing it off the court, however. Reese has already set the WNBA for rebounds in a single season, as well as for the most offensive rebounds in one season.

“It’s a mindset. She wants it,” Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was quoted as saying this past weekend. “She’s not going to allow a box-out to keep her from getting an offensive rebound. She’s very physical down there.

“It’s a desire. She goes hard after it. She takes it very personally. She’s very serious about her work of getting rebounds. She knows that’s the thing she brings to this team to help us be successful, and she’s mastering that role.”

Despite Reese’s personal achievements, the Sky are in danger of missing out on playoff basketball at 11-12, having gone on an awful run since the league resumed on the back of the Olympic break.
