A well-known sportswriter, never shy of hot takes, ripped Chicago Sky star Angel Reese amid debates about if she’s a realistic challenger to Caitlin Clark for WNBA Rookie of the Year honors.
Angel Reese has put together an excellent rookie season in Chicago, averaging 13.5 points, 12 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.8 assists per game through her first 23 contests. She set the league record for consecutive games with a double-double (14), a historic streak that ended in Saturday’s loss to the New York Liberty.
On X/Twitter, veteran sportswriter Jason Whitlock pushed back against the notion that Reese should be in the discussions for Rookie of the Year honors with Caitlin Clark, the overwhelming favorite to win the award.
In a blistering tweet, Whitlock stated Angel Reese is “too unskilled offensively”, struggles with her layups and isn’t All-Star-caliber. Whitlock ended his take by stating that the LSU legend is “being used as a gimmick to diminish Clark.”
Reese is having one of the greatest rookie seasons in WNBA history, but it is hard to envision a scenario where Clark doesn’t win ROTY. Through her first 24 games of 2024, Clark averaged 16.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese dates back to last year, when the latter taunted the Iowa point in LSU’s national championship game victory. Last month, Reese also told reporters that people aren’t just watching basketball because of Clark, but also because of her.
