So there needs to be a stat for what happens after a player gets a rebound. If Reese's offensive mebounds ultimately result in a made basket, that's a good thing. If her defensive rebounds result in a turnover from dribbling up the court, that's a bad thing. So there could be a RaR (Result after Rebound) stat broken down for offensive and defensive rebounds.
She's a lousy teammate too. Even Marina Mabrey wanted out of the AR **** show in Chicago.
She no longer belongs on any all star team than I do. All wnba politics putting that POS on any team. JMO
Yep, I'm fine with the lineup with her and CC playing together. Paige plays team ball, something she learned at Uconn..
Hopefully the coaches review this game and see clearly what did NOT work/ compared to yesterday...
Same as yesterday. Every time Copper touched the ball she looked for hers.
And what was the Chicago Sky's record in two years amongst locker room turmoil of lots of players playing for themselves? Mabry was THRILLED to get the heck out of Chicago....
I have to think that some of Angels antics were caused by CC's tremendous game yesterday. Already back and she's grabbing the spotlight effortlessly.
Exactly. The ego and drama is too much. I don’t know - I highly doubt - that she will ever be able to reign it in. Nevertheless, she will be sought after by other teams thinking she will/can.
No, not at all. I'm the same way. CC is the only female basketball player worth watching who doesn't wear a Hawkeye jersey. They literally could not pay me to walk across the street to watch women's basketball unless CC or the Hawkeyes were playing.
That is correct. Or maybe I knew there was a league of some sort, but I just didn't give a damn. Yah, I think that was it. And if you look at the numbers, nobody else knew or gave a damn either. Most people never heard of a thing called the WNBA until Caitlin came along. It's well-documented. You could look it up.
AR has always been a prima donna. Nobody ever heard of her before she acted like a little baby and mocked CC. That's one way to get famous--or infamous--I guess.
That's why CC has forced some shots. Either she shoots or she'll never see the ball again. Quite a "team" they have there.
Mostly because her teammates aren't seeing the open lanes. CC gets the ball where it should go, but the other players are too stupid to understand the game and get into position. Not all TOs are the same.Clark 3 turnovers now.
"What she does on the court."
AR is a dime a dozen. She gets a lot of rebounds off her own missed shots. She's as overrated as they come. Combine her limited skills with her attitude and, well, she can go to . . .
When she first joined the Fever, you could see this happening a lot. After playing there awhile, her 'mates finally began to anticipate passes and get into favorable positions to catch them. From what I've seen in my limited viewership this year of women's pro ball, is that there are a few vets that actually are getting into good position for her passes, but not many. I'd have to go back and look for greater accuracy. But generally speaking, they just need time to play together and adjust IMHO.
A rebound can result in points. An assist does result in points scored. It's easy to see which one is more significant.
Okay so lets at least be honest and not crap fans because we don't like the girl. The "nobody ever heard of her" just isn't true, and frankly it helps feed the narrative that Iowa fans are hicks that only care about Clark and not the growth of the game. When Clark game out of high school the ranking were Paige #1, and then depending on which service, Cardosa, Clark, Brink, and Reese were basically the top 5 players. (Reese was certainly a key figure in LSU's run after her dismissal from Maryland) , (and was an AA there), so to say "nobody had ever heard of her" is just silly. YES, she got A LOT of media attention as the black hat in the CC22 saga, but she was certainly a well known player to people who follow the women's game. She was also on the USA junior national teams that Paige, Clark, and Van Lyth played on back 2018-19. She's a dynamic rebounder, but her offensive skill really hasn't improved at all in her years in college or the W
That's always been my position. Its also much harder to get a dub/dub with points and assists because they actually work against each other, unlike what Reese does with her "mebounds".
I wouldn't say "negative" stat but in AR's case definitely a "dubious" stat. It's inflated because she shoots 42% from within 5 feet of the basket. That's pathetic. And of course she's going to have an edge getting her own rebounds, she's missing little bunnies close to the rim and already has the perfect position to get the board.
She's nowhere near the defender Rodman was. Not even close.
I would bet CC has a low turnover percentage compared to how much she touches the ball…probably one of, if not the lowest in the league.
