Despite an underwhelming scoring average of 10 points per game, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky is making waves in the WNBA by leading the league with an impressive 12.3 rebounds per game. However, the Sky's season has been rocky with a 2-4 record, leaving them close to the bottom of the standings. While Reese has shown flashes of potential, criticism has mounted due to her subpar shooting, particularly her layup percentage of just 31.5%. Some fans have even created a tongue-in-cheek stat called “mebounds,” highlighting her effectiveness near the basket compared to her struggles in scoring.

Amid the scrutiny, Reese has received support from legends like Shaquille O'Neal, who emphasized the importance of believing in oneself despite external opinions. In a notable achievement, Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 500 career points and rebounds. As she aims to improve her shooting efficiency while harnessing her rebounding talent, fantasy players should keep an eye on her dual-threat capabilities.
