🇺🇸🏀 ANGEL REESE’S PERFORMANCE DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK
Angel Reese played 16:59 minutes for Team USA and finished with 5 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block.
Despite her strong contributions on the glass and as a facilitator, Reese has received criticism from some fans regarding her performance. That has raised an interesting question: were the other bigs clearly more effective in the minutes they received? 👀
Here’s how the numbers compare:
Breanna Stewart — 16:55
7 PTS • 7 REB • 2 AST • 1 STL • 1 BLK
Angel Reese — 16:59
5 PTS • 9 REB • 3 AST • 1 BLK
Aliyah Boston — 14:44
7 PTS • 2 REB • 1 STL • 1 BLK
Kiki Iriafen — 11:54
5 PTS • 3 REB • 2 STL • 1 BLK
Reese led this group in rebounds and assists, while also matching Iriafen with a block and contributing across multiple areas of the game. 📊🔥
Every player brings a different skill set, but if Reese’s performance is being singled out for criticism, it is fair to examine the complete stat lines and the overall impact—not just the scoring column.
Which of these performances was actually the most effective? 👇🇺🇸🏀
