Angel Reese is amazing she be going up against the best front court rotation that's going to hard on Angel the Mystics are planning against Angel it's going to be a dog fight in the paint. I hope Atlanta tells there guards to attack the rim. If Atlanta guards can force the double team off Angel. Then Angel will have a chance to score. Mystic's bigs can't cover Angel and the Atlanta guards driving to rim at same time.
Shes playing with her head alot more and in unison with her physically abilities. And being more tenacious than the entire opposing team helps. She hits you first. Shed probably be a good football player
FWIW' Angel took both guards and forwards off the dribble from the perimeter last year equally as well. It didn't matter who it was. She was one of only two frontcourt players last year that were top 10 ISO players in the WNBA. The other was Alyssa Thomas. The rest were guards.
FYI: If Angel didn't sit out her last 10 games, she would have probably averaged between 16 to 18 points a game to end this season. She was balling, but couldn't put up with Chicago no more.
Angel 6'4", but very strong. WNBA players say they can't move her off her spots. That's why she's able to push players back/back then down as Shakira in your video. However, in the same body, she's also very fast; very quick, and is an explosive leaper. This is how she gets second shots. She explodes back up quicker than the other players, many times while they're still flat-footed.
So she possesses rare commodities in the same body: She has Length; Strength; Speed; Explosiveness/quickness, and Agility in the same body. Whudda combination! This adds to all "she do (both offensively and defensivdly)", and she will only get better. .
The Atlanta guards were poor at getting her the ball in transition and early on her spots for at least half the season. Otherwise, her avg would have been even higher. It appears as the season progressesd, both she and her teammates started to gel more on the court as their comfortably has increased.
Last game she got knocked out early with 7 points, so her avg fell to 16.4 points than the closer to 17 PPG it was if she would had scored similar.
Angel has improved her game year after year. Many may not realize that she's becoming the Bayou Barbie version of herself now that she's comfortable in Atlanta. She's shooting above 50% and 18/19 ppg during the end of the regular season. She has not reached her peak and year 4 will be scary.
I've seen so many times ahe causes contact, the defense fouls, she keeps going, fouls the defender, the defender stops due to the contact and she scores with no defense. She makes them play her style.
She next up she baby Aja different games but both play both sides of the ball Aja average 20 3rd year but Reese average way more rebounds and everything else was higher except fg %
