A high quality objective analysis of Reeses playing strengths and weaknesses. Adrienne cuts right through the chaff to make sense of her situation and offering constructive criticism. Nicely done. Good example of why we follow your podcasts.
One thing I noticed about the Angel Stans is that they act like it's the W's community's responsibility to help Angel with her game. I saw a video of Cooper showing her how to make a layup. This is not a charity case, it's a professional league. That's a Reese and Sky responsibility, not your competitors. For her skill set, she is not a starter. Everyone giving her a cookie for doing the least of what any big girl is expected to do. I'm surprised that she is able to get away with her banging at this level. It would be easy to take a charge against her. Lastly what is up with those scoop shots? She shrinks her size when she does that. it's like how a child plays against an older player.
You guys were complaining nonstop about why isn't Angel practicing her layups. Now there's a video of ehr practicing layups and you whine about that too.
Angel is elite defensively. You might not like it, but its true. Angel makes more of a difference on defense than any other player and the stats show it. I used to doubt this until I saw a few minutes of play between Angel and Alyssa Thomas. It was the game where Angel was flagrant fouled by Alyssa multiple times (but only called once). Angel was just abusing Alyssa in the paint and that's what made Alyssa so mad to start fouling her so rough. If Angel can just be average offensively, she is a perennial All Star.
It's not hating, it's accurate, constructive criticism of AR. The girl is just awkward in her movements; she doesn't do layups; she just throws the ball at the basket and hopes it goes in. She's tough but doesn't know how to finish. Like you said months ago, people around AR are doing her a disservice.
@@charisdiscuss7889 not really there was criticism of Aaliyah Boston that I have read now if you may remember during the season last year, people were so critical of her playing abilities that she had to shut down her social media and became very depressed about the criticism as we all know, some people can be brutal and their assessment and not necessarily correct nothing about criticism online that it’s not the real world and there’s a bunch of nobody’s on there as well but I get your point

@@charisdiscuss7889 This is exactly the problem, and AR will never get any better until she listens to constructive criticism. She doesn't know how to do a layup.

What her supporters failed to realize is that we all want her to succeed because it will make the league better, but y'all think we want her to fail, which is far from the truth.
@chrisvlinton Reese played better than satou, arike, Stewie, Lexie, Aliyah Boston, etc in her first unrivaled game. How come those other players ain't criticized like Reese? Please stop deceiving yourself with fake love
Humility is useless as a professional athlete. Is Michael Jordan humble, Was Kobe? What about Lebron? Ajai Wilson? Steph Curry? Tom Brady? Terrell Owens? Patrick Mahomes? I could go on and on.
I seriously don’t know how Angel Reese has gotten so far in the basketball world. Everyone is trying to help Angel get better instead of just treating her like any other player. It’s like people are spoon feeding her in trying to see her improve. Treat her like how she plays and stop treating her like she is special, she isn’t.
This. For her to be playing this long with multiple coaches from good basketball schools, plus she has been getting special treatment since high-school to develop her skills, nobody should have to tell her shoot higher, stop forcing horrible shots right into defenders hands, pass the ball,... It's embarrassing to WNBA watching her play at pro level like she just picked up basketball last week. Players should call this out
Wait, she is a great defender, a great rebounder. She is special but she needs to work on her game ball handling, and shooting. This only comes with practice.
Can you speak on Angel Reese getting so many free throws? Oftentimes it Just looks like she is jumping into the Defender, because she cant hit a Layup and gets some free throws gifted from the refs because she is famous. Napheesa Collier or Aaliyah Boston arent getting the same calls for example, even tho they are playing way above the level of Reese.
They are just different players around the rim. Reese is MUCH better getting rebounds and jockeying for position. Boston actually knows how to finesse the attempt to put the ball into the hoop…she knows how to finish. If the Good Lord combined those two players into one super player, we’d be witnessing absolute greatness…dominance around the rim like never before. Facts.
Nicely done Adrienne! I have been thinking this myself during her LSU days. The moves are not there. She has used all this to gain fame and notoriety. That being said, I could only shake my head when the commentators on WNBA pre and post game show when the run for Rookie of the Year was occurring. Angel falls into their selfish categories and checks all of the boxes. How many more years does she play (dress up and out for the game)???
Reese is very uncoordinated. There's no way to fix that. In other words, she does not have God given talent to be a professional basketball player. I don't know why most pundit refuse to see that.
No not true. It come with practice. Repetition breeds body memory. I am sure she is not putting that work. She’s big and she can hustle. But unless she practice, practice, practice it will never be.
I think she probably could be her attitude must change asap. I’ve always said that her attitude stinks and to me that’s one of her main obstacles. She has no humility, self control or self awareness. But she can learn be she has the ability I believe but she gotta put the work in. Unrivaled is exposing her ineptitude even more. She a good rebounder at this and nothing else.
@@courtneyalstonyes. cc is a poor off ball defender, and loses focus watching her man and the ball. But saying she plays no defense is disingenuous. And unfortunately the mid range game has lost its impact on the game in general, which cc is emblematic of. 3 is more than 2, and shots at the rim are the highest percentage. This leaves the mid range in an awkward spot due to modern day analytics and how it influences players and coaches.
@KB8Killa I know this is a waste of time, because you Clark Cult people just don't acknowledge the truth when it comes to her....But I'll say it anyway....She She sucks at ON BALL defense too! She can't guard anyone....Thats why they hide her in games....Thats why she never guards any of the top opposing guards.They would score 50 on her.....This isn't even a secret, everyone knows this............Shes ranked 95th in the league defense....These are facts And this isn't to take a shot at her, bit just to point out you guys cult like behavior..Like you're really trying to say midrange scoring isn't important 🤣🤣....Have a nice day
This is a great take on Reese. I think the same thing. I will add that she does need a mature, quality, mentor to take her by the hand and teach her what her wisest priorities should be. She also needs someone to school her on basketball fundamentals, and drill her hard on those which are useful to her position. All she should have to do is listen and apply. I would really like to see her do well, legitimately.
@ I agree, and haven't quite got that figured out, yet. but she did well enough in college to compensate for lack of technique, and proper execution. She is a very good rebounder, if not much else. The pros are a different story. So many are as big or bigger, more skilled, and stronger than she is.
Angel Reese looks like a good high school player, those players that don’t play after high school, but, she is so out there with social media we’re forced to watch, I don’t get it? Have you ever been embarrassed for someone and you don’t even know them, that’s how I feel embarrassed for her! I can only imagine what Lisa Leslie wants to say but can’t.
No she was a lot better in college and high school. I think the pressure you get in the WNBA and the height of the players is just bigger and she needs to adjust to that.
@HoHoHo5622 On what? Not her talent. Just like they gave Aja MVP even though Caitlin's overall numbers were better and her "value" far exceed Aja's by lightyears! If you earn it, good. If it's given to you; cheating! Same as he so-called double-double streak. That wasn't a record. It was manufactured to try and keep the eyes of the white girl because, we, blacks seem to think we own basketball (even though a white man invented it).
Great video. There is a LARGER discussion that needs to be had. It is the disappearing of fundamentals in basketball. Perhaps part if the reason why Reese has been able to skate by so long without proper fundamentals is because so many other players are doing the same thing. You especially see the lack of fundamentals among the men. The very first thing I notic3d about the women's game when I returned to it was how much harder the ladies played in comparison to the NBA and how frequently they called traveling and other infractions (unlike the NBA). And the transfer portal is only exacerbating the issue. If the coach tries to instill discipline and change bad habits what tends to happen? The coach hears an earful from the player, the parents and the fans. Them there are calls for the player to enter the transfer portal. Perhaps the AD tells the coach don't be too harsh on the player. So the coach relents and enters the professional league without the requisite fundamentals. So the WNBA or NBA coach is tasked with teaching the player the fundamentals thst they should have ALREADY learned. Now college coaches can be at a school for decades with no problem but in the pros they expect results. So rather than waste time teaching the players fundamentals, the coaches look to foreign markets for players who already are fundamentally sound. That's why the NBA has so many foreigners and the W is trending that way. We even see foreigners in college (Tehina Pao Pao, Last Tesr Poa, etc).
It’s easy to see how she collects so many rebounds. The one directed at the backboard first and she caught a second rebound and couldn’t get it into to basket. She could be an absolute beast at the post and because of her height she would be hard to contain at the basket.
OMG! I’m so with you. I coached community center bball when my kids played. I notice Angel is missing some basic skills and I would have tried to correct by now if I was her coach. Most of the time she doesn’t even use the backboard. And for some reason she starts her shots from down low for such a tall player. And her dribble skills are horrible. To me she’s a selfish player. How no one has corrected this by now is a mystery to me. Does she even know the Mikan Drill? But I can remember trying to change a young lady’s shooting from the hip to shoulder height and follow through and her father had a fit…..needless to say, her bball coach in hschool ended up teaching her later on. But you are so right.
@@marygooden2905 it’s called lack of hand eye coordination. Coaches can’t fix that. Sure, she can improve but she would have to be willing to be in the gym 24/7. Despite the lack of talent, she got where she is because she has size and willing to bang bodies
"How no one has corrected this ..." I have a feeling several have tried to correct her and finally gave up. One of her training videos shows David Simon just rebounding balls for her. No instruction, no game prep, just Reese practicing random shots, like he was just putting in his required time.
Nailed it, how did AR get this far is a great question. Angel is hard to watch she just looks like the one player who always looks like she not a professional.
Angel is surrounded by people who are scared to give her criticism. Whenever she receives it, she dismisses it. She has this arrogance about her that makes her unlikeable and uncoachable. Even Shaq himself tried to give her advice, and she dismissed it. If she won't listen to Shaq, how will Lisa Leslie get through to her? As much as I find her missed layups laughable, it's sad that this continues to happen. It's not even funny to me anymore. She's a professional ballplayer. She should already know the fundamentals, and she should be willing to be coached. We'll see how the Sky's new coach deals with her.
Tell me more about the people around her. What are their names. How long has she known each of them. How long have you personally known Angel to know this much????
Angel has a high motor for sure. But her body is out of control. Arms flailing, legs sprawling, no good form or muscle memory. Sad. She has so very much potential.
someone needs to be honest with Angel that if she doesn’t improve her skills fast then she’s going to be out a job quick. Her popularity is built on one thing and one thing only, her one sided rivalry with Caitlin Clark. But the truth is that if she continues to play high school basketball at the professional level the it’s not a rivalry it’s just Swoopes level jealousy.
Only you Caitlin fans are pushing the Caitlin rivalty. Her rivalry is with top forwards like Ajai and Phee. Try to find guards that will be rivals for Caitlin.
lol, keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. Bottom line, Angel NEEDS this fake rivalry to stay in spotlight, because her basketball skills are lacking.
@ No one wants this rivalry except Caitlin fans. You guys are the ones posting about it 24/7. Everyone else, including Caitlin and Angel wishes is would go away. Here you are on another post that has nothing to do with Caitlin, bringing up Caitlin.
Being an Olympic metal winner gives her absolutely zero and I do need zero credibility because it's always a given you are just going to win and selection as we saw is all about politics. That said her other accomplishments are really are outstanding
To be honest I just don't think AR has the coordination ,not her fault. You can't teach these things...She gets rebounds because she is tall,other than that it is a struggle for her,and will always be.
6'3" is not tall for women's basketball. She gets 90% of her rebounds because of her quickness. She is quicker to the ball than anyone. It's amazing how quick she is.
She definitely isn't A'ja. You're correct Adrienne, her skills set just isn't there. Neither is the cerebral part of the game for the most part but she did have a few moments.
The problem is most of her fans are not real basketball fans. A lot of them are just “activists”. Her game gets criticized because she needs a lot of work. She can’t do the basics. Can she rebound yes. She’s a dog on the board. She goes 100 for those rebounds. But when you criticize her game people take it as hate. No her skill set it horrible. How do you run on a fast break, double dribble twice, and travel and they lay the ball up like you are 5? If she had the basic skill set down she would be AMAZING because she works hard. But we can’t pretend she’s really good just because she’s black. Like how is ur shot getting blocked by Jordin Canada. Do people realize how short Jordin is, that’s like me getting blocked by my 1.5 year old son.
Hi Adrienne. Reese’s problem is that no one has been honest with about how atrocious her game really is and of course she has no self awareness either. That’s what is so important to have real people in the circle who always tells you the truth no matter. CC22 circle has been very intentional about letting know what, when to do or not do. It showed when her father shouted out to her to stop complaining about the officiating and play ball during some games. It’s very apparent the a strong circle is around her and they want the very best for her.
That’s this time has always been called the offseason. It’s the prime time to be making improvements on yourself because during the season there’s no time to do it.
the constant throwing the ball at the rim for a layup is hard to watch..ive actually seen her do a proper layup in college why can't she continue to do so
She doesn't have the form but she is definitely athletic. That's why she is so dominant with rebounds. Phil Jackson called Dennis Ridman the most athletic player on the Bulls and explains why he was the best rebounder while he played.
AR has a drive and determination that just can’t be taught, as you say, Adrienne. But facts are facts…her skill beyond that, especially in scoring around the rim, leaves huge room for improvement. Man…I gotta say, her upside potential is vast. I really hope Mr. Marsh takes the time and gives the effort to work with her instead of just patronizing her. If he does, we could really see greatness. If she works on and improves some of these basic skills that she’s currently lacking, she could honestly dominate. I really hope this happens, because I would like nothing more than to see her flourish and silence her critics. As others have said, though, humility and acceptance will need to be there first for her to have this opportunity.
I'm thinking the same. The Laces game was exciting to watch though. Quality team play and high shooting percentage. I have to admit I enjoyed watching that game. Unfortunately, the only one so far.
Reese is already as good as she'll ever be. She's too gangly (definition: moving with a loose-jointed awkwardness). She only got famous for being a hater, and she's mainly popular with other haters -- it's sure not her game. Yet look at the press she gets.
One thing about Reese's development is that LSU does not develop players. They just let players do what they do best. Angel could be a big scorer if she could shoot 50% at the rim (which is way below league average). Improvement usually takes more than one off-season so let's give her a couple years to see if she improves.
If she puts in the work she can get better. It’s not going to happen overnight but if she makes improvement a priority she can win most improved player and second team WNBA.
Angel Reese should know basketball basics, and she doesn’t. It’s sad, and at some point she needs to accept responsibility that she’s not the player people pretend she is.
I agree with that offensive foul she should have just gone straight up with it instead of putting it on the ground and trying to drive past two defenders. I also think the same on the lack of finesse. I don’t like bully ball that was my biggest issue with Shaq I was always amazed he wasn’t called for offensive fouls all the time. Also criticizing someone is not hate. I see it too the girl has potential.
I've never seen a supposed pro with a worse game. Reese gets way to much attention.& her game needs so much attention that it's somewhat unimageable what people see. She runs like a giraffe wearing snow shoes.
I agree that Angel needs someone to help her. Yes, she can rebound, but the rest of her game looks like she's in junior high. When she gets the ball, she never passes and can't really drive to the basket without looking uncoordinated and off balance. Then she just throws the ball somewhere towards the rim hoping to either get fouled or to get the rebound. Unfortunately, I don't see Angel being willing to put in the work. She already thinks she is elite when in reality she is the worst shooter in the wnba.
She’s going to kill her career chasing this double double thing, she’s trying so hard to get this double that she doesn’t play good basketball I just don’t understand it, what was she doing all off season? She looks the same as last year, she doesn’t have any new moves or anything.
If I were Angel Reese I would take advantage of having players the caliber of Lisa Leslie willing to help me, I’d follow her around like a lost puppy dog just soaking up everything I could.
I just wrote another comment below which is practically the same as you said. But I did it before I listened to your video and now I hear you saying the same thing I wrote. I seem to have the same opinion as you with so many things.
For crying out loud Angel is cousin with one of the best centers of all time, Shaq. She should ask him to help her and give her a few pointers. Caitilin Clark is really good friends with the Millers, you dont think she went up to Reggie and ask for a few pointers
1st clip that you showed 15:08, Angel was fouled three times, the Roses coach called a clear out for Angel to draw a foul on Hamby, which was evident because both her teammates stayed above the three point line and weren’t cutting or coming to get the ball, every person who coached basketball should know that play.
I appreciate the objectivity you bring and the coaches perspective as well. Reese uses the body slam quite frequently. I’ve often wondered how it does not get called. It’s intriguing to think about what impact Lisa Leslie could have on Reese’s game. Yet, I don’t really see any real indicators that Reese is open to that level of investment. When LL was playing with the Sparks, I was a Mercury fan. So, she was seen as a rival. I still really respected her game AND her character. She had a healthy sense of her array of skills yet she maintained an equally healthy level of dignity & respect for other players…something that has become somewhat rare among the current “stars.” I miss that sportsmanship. Back to Reese - I think she could improve. Right now, though, she mostly looks like she’d rather be somewhere else…as if she’s miserable & would like for hoopin to be a fond memory. She looks happiest when she’s modeling - actual modeling, with professional photographers and genuine high fashion. I want her to be happy.
Angel needs to forget about her “rivalry” with Caitlin. Remember when there was the video of Angel shooting threes in practice? It is so obvious she did that because there was a video of Caitlin hitting three after three in practice. Now, how many threes did Angel take so far in her Unrivaled games? None! She desperately needs to concentrate on her game in the paint. Will her new coaches get her to do that? Or will they just continue to look the other way when she throws up bricks?
Reese is the female version of LeBron. Everything Jordan has done, LeBron tries to do as well (same jersey number, same movie, the powder clap before games, etc). Likewise, Angel Reese keeps trying to one up CC. Expect either Rihanna or Beyonce to show up with Angel Reese somewhere.
@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00 Wow, so your examples are what Lebron did towards MJ, not one thing that Angel is doing, except for your outlandish hero worshiping of CC. Well I am glad that you think that the 7th pick in the draft and a rookie reminds you of LeBron. That’s a nice compliment.
She had some nice highlights the second game. You didn’t show her cross over. I agree she needs to practice more this will bring comfort. She has the moves Angel use to be a point guard.
Truth be told, Angle can get better but she’s gotta realize 1st that she absolutely needs to get better to garner the respect that she seeks but ultimately will not get with actually putting in the work
Iam sorry ,but everyone has to agree finally. AR won championship with the help of a good coach good players and it was not just AR. everyone and AR needs to wrap their heads around this. Nothing you do is going to make her better. Too unccorinated ,too heavy, can not dribble, can not use both right and left hands, can not shoot worth a darn. Should I go on? Stop all the BS admit it, one of the worst players in any league. Self adsorbed, All about her , Selfish, Center of attention, Ball hog
I don't blame Lisa Leslie itching to want to mold and shape that Adonis of a sculpture that is Angel Reese. And honestly, if it would make her a better basketball player I am all for it! As I said many times over my adult life...if you give me a good product / game / show whatever the case is, to indulge my time in I will gladly do so. And to be honest, yes I want CC to win championships BUT I want it to be against the best of the best. Sports for me is always about the competition not Wins and Losses. God Bless you on purpose Adrienne and continue bringing this great content to us all. I see many engagements in the comments and absolutely love discussing our differences of opinion respectively while expanding my own 🙏♥ Keep it up @The Adrienne Ross Show
Adrienne, It's called Tough Love. But Reese doesn't know how to handle it. That's the true problem. And she'll finally get it after her career is over. After it's too late. The word for it is. Uncoachable
I am not sure the women of the league ever respected Lisa enough to get tips from her. Add to the fact thst she has spoken positively about CC and I think that might sour them even more against her. To me, the W seems to have a greater respect for Candace Parker than Lisa Leslie. It would be great however, if there was a WNBA version of Hakeem Olajuwon where players can go to in order to get training from them. Parker or Leslie would be great at that. But Hakeem is deeply respected. I don't see that same for Lisa. But I could be wrong. In the meantime Reese does have a trainer and instead of having her work on 3 pointers he needs to have her work more on her post techniques. I do wish though that CLARK could that same love from players wanting to help her as Angel gets from everyone - even from Kahleah Copper teaching her Mikan drills
Angel has developed movements down low that may have worked very well in college, but, they do not translate to the pro game. The players are bigger, stronger, and more talented. Unfortunately, she has not adjusted her game. I have never seen a player down low who actively places herself in positions that add extreme difficulty to layups. Low post movements are meant to do the very opposite.
Angel did learn basketball playing in Baltimore. She didn't play for a ghetto school, she actually went to an exclusive Catholic high school, I presume on an athletic scholarship. A friend of mine who grew up in the hood showed me what ghetto ball is like one time. It's basically a form of violent assault and battery with a basketball thrown in.
As much as I dislike Angel, I’ll still have to admit that her drive and determination make her one of the top players in the league. She’s going to get 10 or 12 rebounds per game and as long as the refs keep giving her free throws for jumping into defenders when she shoots, she’s going to score around 12 points per game. I’m afraid that eventually she’ll grow up and get serious about working on her game, hopefully she’ll stay more concerned about her image than improving her skills.
Angel could have a Tina Charles type career if she just develops a couple of post moves and a mid range jumper. I'm an Angel fan, but it pissed off even me, to see her shoot all those 3's. There's no reason for a big in the WNBA to be shooting all those 3, imo, unless you're the rare big who can hit at 35%+.
You are definitely not a hater. I think Angel is playing like she did in high school and college. Her game hasn't improved. She had so many other great players in college who carried her to the championship. She is a bully and nobody has called her on it. She needs a trainer who will be honest with Angel. She will never get better if she doesn't pass and continues to miss under the basket.
The keyword.. if AR accepts the constructive criticism.. i agree and ty for someone finally pointing it out. These are high school fundamentals..
You have to start somewhere
Lisa Leslie also is one the few players who has a triple double. It is also a rare triple double because it was based on points, rebounds and blocks.

Big.

BANG!!!
Can you speak on Angel Reese getting so many free throws? Oftentimes it Just looks like she is jumping into the Defender, because she cant hit a Layup and gets some free throws gifted from the refs because she is famous. Napheesa Collier or Aaliyah Boston arent getting the same calls for example, even tho they are playing way above the level of Reese.
You really think Boston is better than Reese? 😂
@@charisdiscuss7889Yes whe is. Atleast she can finish her lay-ups and do the basics.
@@charisdiscuss7889 Even Cardoso IS way better than Reese If you would be honest
They are just different players around the rim. Reese is MUCH better getting rebounds and jockeying for position. Boston actually knows how to finesse the attempt to put the ball into the hoop…she knows how to finish. If the Good Lord combined those two players into one super player, we’d be witnessing absolute greatness…dominance around the rim like never before. Facts.
@@edvonschleck3098 stats don't say so. Only Clark hating fans delusionally say that 🤣
Nicely done Adrienne! I have been thinking this myself during her LSU days. The moves are not there. She has used all this to gain fame and notoriety. That being said, I could only shake my head when the commentators on WNBA pre and post game show when the run for Rookie of the Year was occurring. Angel falls into their selfish categories and checks all of the boxes.
How many more years does she play (dress up and out for the game)???
Reese is very uncoordinated. There's no way to fix that. In other words, she does not have God given talent to be a professional basketball player. I don't know why most pundit refuse to see that.
She definitely is not athletic
WELL SAID
No not true. It come with practice. Repetition breeds body memory. I am sure she is not putting that work. She’s big and she can hustle. But unless she practice, practice, practice it will never be.
I think she probably could be her attitude must change asap. I’ve always said that her attitude stinks and to me that’s one of her main obstacles. She has no humility, self control or self awareness. But she can learn be she has the ability I believe but she gotta put the work in. Unrivaled is exposing her ineptitude even more. She a good rebounder at this and nothing else.
@@goodnessratedbeau8147that’s a great point she’s a hustler
You are the most honest and unbiased person I have ever watched. That why I look for you to get my information and learn from.
Would you be saying this is she points out how C Clark plays no defense? Or has no midrange game?
@@courtneyalstonyes. cc is a poor off ball defender, and loses focus watching her man and the ball. But saying she plays no defense is disingenuous. And unfortunately the mid range game has lost its impact on the game in general, which cc is emblematic of. 3 is more than 2, and shots at the rim are the highest percentage. This leaves the mid range in an awkward spot due to modern day analytics and how it influences players and coaches.
@KB8Killa I know this is a waste of time, because you Clark Cult people just don't acknowledge the truth when it comes to her....But I'll say it anyway....She She sucks at ON BALL defense too! She can't guard anyone....Thats why they hide her in games....Thats why she never guards any of the top opposing guards.They would score 50 on her.....This isn't even a secret, everyone knows this............Shes ranked 95th in the league defense....These are facts
And this isn't to take a shot at her, bit just to point out you guys cult like behavior..Like you're really trying to say midrange scoring isn't important
🤣🤣....Have a nice day
@@KB8Killa 🤣
@@courtneyalston do I amuse you?? Like a clown??
Angel Reese rebounds so well because she knows the shot will miss and she's better prepared for the ball than her opponents.
She has a nose for the ball. Some players just have an instinct to hunt down rebounds. She has got it, and that’s all she has.
But most of her rebounds are defensive rebounds during game 1 unrivaled?
This is a great take on Reese. I think the same thing. I will add that she does need a mature, quality, mentor to take her by the hand and teach her what her wisest priorities should be. She also needs someone to school her on basketball fundamentals, and drill her hard on those which are useful to her position. All she should have to do is listen and apply. I would really like to see her do well, legitimately.
Shouldn't she have that already being in the pros
@tracysettle
Facts.
@ I agree, and haven't quite got that figured out, yet. but she did well enough in college to compensate for lack of technique, and proper execution. She is a very good rebounder, if not much else. The pros are a different story. So many are as big or bigger, more skilled, and stronger than she is.
Angel Reese looks like a good high school player, those players that don’t play after high school, but, she is so out there with social media we’re forced to watch, I don’t get it? Have you ever been embarrassed for someone and you don’t even know them, that’s how I feel embarrassed for her! I can only imagine what Lisa Leslie wants to say but can’t.
Not sure if Angel is willing to put in the WORK. It seems Podcast and image comes
first.
Agreed!!!!!!
Did she miss all these layups in college? How did she make it on LSU’s team?
I have no clue because she was absolutely killing it in the elite 8 before she turned her ankle trying to block CC22’S shot.
No she was a lot better in college and high school. I think the pressure you get in the WNBA and the height of the players is just bigger and she needs to adjust to that.
Her teammates carried her. She wasn't that good in college!
@ She was SEC Player of the Year, an All American, and Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament. How is that being carried?
@HoHoHo5622
On what? Not her talent. Just like they gave Aja MVP even though Caitlin's overall numbers were better and her "value" far exceed Aja's by lightyears! If you earn it, good. If it's given to you; cheating! Same as he so-called double-double streak. That wasn't a record. It was manufactured to try and keep the eyes of the white girl because, we, blacks seem to think we own basketball (even though a white man invented it).
She don’t have a grammar school level of play
Great video. There is a LARGER discussion that needs to be had. It is the disappearing of fundamentals in basketball. Perhaps part if the reason why Reese has been able to skate by so long without proper fundamentals is because so many other players are doing the same thing. You especially see the lack of fundamentals among the men. The very first thing I notic3d about the women's game when I returned to it was how much harder the ladies played in comparison to the NBA and how frequently they called traveling and other infractions (unlike the NBA).
And the transfer portal is only exacerbating the issue. If the coach tries to instill discipline and change bad habits what tends to happen? The coach hears an earful from the player, the parents and the fans. Them there are calls for the player to enter the transfer portal. Perhaps the AD tells the coach don't be too harsh on the player. So the coach relents and enters the professional league without the requisite fundamentals. So the WNBA or NBA coach is tasked with teaching the player the fundamentals thst they should have ALREADY learned. Now college coaches can be at a school for decades with no problem but in the pros they expect results. So rather than waste time teaching the players fundamentals, the coaches look to foreign markets for players who already are fundamentally sound. That's why the NBA has so many foreigners and the W is trending that way. We even see foreigners in college (Tehina Pao Pao, Last Tesr Poa, etc).
Thank you for you always breaking it down for us.
It’s easy to see how she collects so many rebounds. The one directed at the backboard first and she caught a second rebound and couldn’t get it into to basket. She could be an absolute beast at the post and because of her height she would be hard to contain at the basket.
I always learn when I watch your show. Thanks.
OMG! I’m so with you. I coached community center bball when my kids played. I notice Angel is missing some basic skills and I would have tried to correct by now if I was her coach. Most of the time she doesn’t even use the backboard. And for some reason she starts her shots from down low for such a tall player. And her dribble skills are horrible. To me she’s a selfish player. How no one has corrected this by now is a mystery to me. Does she even know the Mikan Drill? But I can remember trying to change a young lady’s shooting from the hip to shoulder height and follow through and her father had a fit…..needless to say, her bball coach in hschool ended up teaching her later on. But you are so right.
@@marygooden2905 it’s called lack of hand eye coordination. Coaches can’t fix that. Sure, she can improve but she would have to be willing to be in the gym 24/7. Despite the lack of talent, she got where she is because she has size and willing to bang bodies
"How no one has corrected this ..." I have a feeling several have tried to correct her and finally gave up. One of her training videos shows David Simon just rebounding balls for her. No instruction, no game prep, just Reese practicing random shots, like he was just putting in his required time.
@@philwebb59 I noticed that as well.
Nailed it, how did AR get this far is a great question. Angel is hard to watch she just looks like the one player who always looks like she not a professional.
Exactly
Angel is surrounded by people who are scared to give her criticism. Whenever she receives it, she dismisses it. She has this arrogance about her that makes her unlikeable and uncoachable. Even Shaq himself tried to give her advice, and she dismissed it. If she won't listen to Shaq, how will Lisa Leslie get through to her? As much as I find her missed layups laughable, it's sad that this continues to happen. It's not even funny to me anymore. She's a professional ballplayer. She should already know the fundamentals, and she should be willing to be coached. We'll see how the Sky's new coach deals with her.
Tell me more about the people around her. What are their names. How long has she known each of them. How long have you personally known Angel to know this much????
Angel has a high motor for sure. But her body is out of control. Arms flailing, legs sprawling, no good form or muscle memory. Sad. She has so very much potential.
This was really good analysis thank you
A double double in 3x3 is celebrated? Hahahaha.who even counts rebounds in 3x3? 😂😂😂😂..
someone needs to be honest with Angel that if she doesn’t improve her skills fast then she’s going to be out a job quick. Her popularity is built on one thing and one thing only, her one sided rivalry with Caitlin Clark. But the truth is that if she continues to play high school basketball at the professional level the it’s not a rivalry it’s just Swoopes level jealousy.
I've been saying she has 3 years in the league...now it's down to two if she doesn't get it together.
Only you Caitlin fans are pushing the Caitlin rivalty. Her rivalry is with top forwards like Ajai and Phee. Try to find guards that will be rivals for Caitlin.
lol, keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. Bottom line, Angel NEEDS this fake rivalry to stay in spotlight, because her basketball skills are lacking.
@ No one wants this rivalry except Caitlin fans. You guys are the ones posting about it 24/7. Everyone else, including Caitlin and Angel wishes is would go away. Here you are on another post that has nothing to do with Caitlin, bringing up Caitlin.
@ 2 years longer than you will be relevant.
Adrienne on Reese: "She's out of control many times..."
Me: 'On the court.... or off?' 🤔 Sure seems like BOTH!
Begs the obvious question; why don't the Chicago Sky hire someone who can help develop Reese's game?
Not only that, they have Cardoso too. So two Sky players that could use development help.
They did. Coach Marsh is a developmental coach and he came to the Sky because of Angel.
She was trained by Maryland, LSU, the Sky and now her coach at Unrivaled is trying to teach her a basic Layup? She may be untrainable!
Being an Olympic metal winner gives her absolutely zero and I do need zero credibility because it's always a given you are just going to win and selection as we saw is all about politics. That said her other accomplishments are really are outstanding
I appreciate that you are always up posting at random hours because I’m the same way AR
I was up really, really late-but I scheduled this one to be published when it was. 😊
@ your grind is inspiring
To be honest I just don't think AR has the coordination ,not her fault. You can't teach these things...She gets rebounds because she is tall,other than that it is a struggle for her,and will always be.
6'3" is not tall for women's basketball. She gets 90% of her rebounds because of her quickness. She is quicker to the ball than anyone. It's amazing how quick she is.
She definitely isn't A'ja. You're correct Adrienne, her skills set just isn't there. Neither is the cerebral part of the game for the most part but she did have a few moments.
The problem is most of her fans are not real basketball fans. A lot of them are just “activists”. Her game gets criticized because she needs a lot of work. She can’t do the basics. Can she rebound yes. She’s a dog on the board. She goes 100 for those rebounds. But when you criticize her game people take it as hate. No her skill set it horrible. How do you run on a fast break, double dribble twice, and travel and they lay the ball up like you are 5? If she had the basic skill set down she would be AMAZING because she works hard. But we can’t pretend she’s really good just because she’s black. Like how is ur shot getting blocked by Jordin Canada. Do people realize how short Jordin is, that’s like me getting blocked by my 1.5 year old son.
Nods, she set the all time record for having the most shots blocked in a season. She is very good at that!
@ see my point.
Hi Adrienne. Reese’s problem is that no one has been honest with about how atrocious her game really is and of course she has no self awareness either. That’s what is so important to have real people in the circle who always tells you the truth no matter. CC22 circle has been very intentional about letting know what, when to do or not do. It showed when her father shouted out to her to stop complaining about the officiating and play ball during some games. It’s very apparent the a strong circle is around her and they want the very best for her.
That’s this time has always been called the offseason. It’s the prime time to be making improvements on yourself because during the season there’s no time to do it.
the constant throwing the ball at the rim for a layup is hard to watch..ive actually seen her do a proper layup in college why can't she continue to do so
Angel Reese is not athletic and doesn't have the form.
She doesn't have the form but she is definitely athletic. That's why she is so dominant with rebounds.
Phil Jackson called Dennis Ridman the most athletic player on the Bulls and explains why he was the best rebounder while he played.
If Angel became a great passer it would alter her game and reputation. The pass at 23:00 was beautiful.
AR LOVES to play victim its her favorite game
Hear You!💯‼️✔️
AR has a drive and determination that just can’t be taught, as you say, Adrienne. But facts are facts…her skill beyond that, especially in scoring around the rim, leaves huge room for improvement.
Man…I gotta say, her upside potential is vast. I really hope Mr. Marsh takes the time and gives the effort to work with her instead of just patronizing her. If he does, we could really see greatness. If she works on and improves some of these basic skills that she’s currently lacking, she could honestly dominate.
I really hope this happens, because I would like nothing more than to see her flourish and silence her critics. As others have said, though, humility and acceptance will need to be there first for her to have this opportunity.
Unrivaled =unwatchable
I'm thinking the same. The Laces game was exciting to watch though. Quality team play and high shooting percentage. I have to admit I enjoyed watching that game. Unfortunately, the only one so far.
I enjoyed watching it. Maybe it’s okay that we all don’t enjoy the same things.
@@jazzyjasismI also enjoyed it very much.
She is just mad because she watched, all those likes from people who also said that they weren’t going to watch. They all love Unrivaled.
Reese is already as good as she'll ever be. She's too gangly (definition: moving with a loose-jointed awkwardness). She only got famous for being a hater, and she's mainly popular with other haters -- it's sure not her game. Yet look at the press she gets.
One thing about Reese's development is that LSU does not develop players. They just let players do what they do best. Angel could be a big scorer if she could shoot 50% at the rim (which is way below league average). Improvement usually takes more than one off-season so let's give her a couple years to see if she improves.
Cant teach coordination - THat train passed in 3rd grade
If she puts in the work she can get better. It’s not going to happen overnight but if she makes improvement a priority she can win most improved player and second team WNBA.
@@ernestclayboniii656 She has had a decade of high-level coaches and competition to help her with her will to do so. Not going to happen.
Angel Reese should know basketball basics, and she doesn’t. It’s sad, and at some point she needs to accept responsibility that she’s not the player people pretend she is.
I do not think AR's heart desires are in playing basketball. I think they lie in modeling, if that is what she calls it.
I agree with that offensive foul she should have just gone straight up with it instead of putting it on the ground and trying to drive past two defenders. I also think the same on the lack of finesse. I don’t like bully ball that was my biggest issue with Shaq I was always amazed he wasn’t called for offensive fouls all the time. Also criticizing someone is not hate. I see it too the girl has potential.
I've never seen a supposed pro with a worse game. Reese gets way to much attention.& her game needs so much attention that it's somewhat unimageable what people see. She runs like a giraffe wearing snow shoes.
I agree that Angel needs someone to help her. Yes, she can rebound, but the rest of her game looks like she's in junior high. When she gets the ball, she never passes and can't really drive to the basket without looking uncoordinated and off balance. Then she just throws the ball somewhere towards the rim hoping to either get fouled or to get the rebound. Unfortunately, I don't see Angel being willing to put in the work. She already thinks she is elite when in reality she is the worst shooter in the wnba.
She’s going to kill her career chasing this double double thing, she’s trying so hard to get this double that she doesn’t play good basketball I just don’t understand it, what was she doing all off season? She looks the same as last year, she doesn’t have any new moves or anything.
If I were Angel Reese I would take advantage of having players the caliber of Lisa Leslie willing to help me, I’d follow her around like a lost puppy dog just soaking up everything I could.
Morning Blessings to all❤
Thanks ARC...🎉
There is no fixing AR, she is who she is and it's not a basketball player.
🙏🏿 🌹 A.R. 🌹 FAN I'M !!! GREAT CONTENT & REPORTING 🏀 EDUCATING WHOEVER 💯💪🏿💯✊🏿
I just wrote another comment below which is practically the same as you said. But I did it before I listened to your video and now I hear you saying the same thing I wrote. I seem to have the same opinion as you with so many things.
For crying out loud Angel is cousin with one of the best centers of all time, Shaq. She should ask him to help her and give her a few pointers. Caitilin Clark is really good friends with the Millers, you dont think she went up to Reggie and ask for a few pointers
Nah, Reese needs to stay as far away from Shaq when it comes to training
Who said they where cousin's and why would you wanna get tips from Shaq all he could do was dunk
Angel Reese will always have her RING !!!!
Plus, Cardoso is by far the better player in the post. So Angel clogging up the paint is only going to hold the Sky back.
Cardoso does the same thing Angel does, Cardoso is the definition of just being BIG
1st clip that you showed 15:08, Angel was fouled three times, the Roses coach called a clear out for Angel to draw a foul on Hamby, which was evident because both her teammates stayed above the three point line and weren’t cutting or coming to get the ball, every person who coached basketball should know that play.
@@BEARBULLCUBSKY yep she gets fouled all the time
Lisa is like 6"7 while Angel is 6"3, a small forward tryna play big. Once Elizabeth is back she can drop back a little.
Reese set a record for most rebounds as her team loses. The more inflated her stats are, the more her team loses.
People aren't willing to help Reese get better because there's nothing about her that indicates that she is willing to put in the hard work.
AR gets a lot of MeBounds 😂
But, if you give the ball up to the point guard, how are you gonna make those double doubles?
I appreciate the objectivity you bring and the coaches perspective as well.
Reese uses the body slam quite frequently. I’ve often wondered how it does not get called. It’s intriguing to think about what impact Lisa Leslie could have on Reese’s game. Yet, I don’t really see any real indicators that Reese is open to that level of investment.
When LL was playing with the Sparks, I was a Mercury fan. So, she was seen as a rival. I still really respected her game AND her character. She had a healthy sense of her array of skills yet she maintained an equally healthy level of dignity & respect for other players…something that has become somewhat rare among the current “stars.” I miss that sportsmanship.
Back to Reese - I think she could improve. Right now, though, she mostly looks like she’d rather be somewhere else…as if she’s miserable & would like for hoopin to be a fond memory. She looks happiest when she’s modeling - actual modeling, with professional photographers and genuine high fashion. I want her to be happy.
Angel needs to forget about her “rivalry” with Caitlin. Remember when there was the video of Angel shooting threes in practice? It is so obvious she did that because there was a video of Caitlin hitting three after three in practice. Now, how many threes did Angel take so far in her Unrivaled games? None! She desperately needs to concentrate on her game in the paint. Will her new coaches get her to do that? Or will they just continue to look the other way when she throws up bricks?
Angel Reese gives some CC Stalker vibes, you are correct. Everytime Clark is in the News, Reese needs to grab Attention.
Everything isn’t about Caitlin Clark, stop with the hero worshiping, it sounds foolish.
@@edvonschleck3098 Stalker vibes is trying to connect everything Angel does back to CC, yikes!
Reese is the female version of LeBron. Everything Jordan has done, LeBron tries to do as well (same jersey number, same movie, the powder clap before games, etc).
Likewise, Angel Reese keeps trying to one up CC. Expect either Rihanna or Beyonce to show up with Angel Reese somewhere.
@@Mirror_of_the_Soul00 Wow, so your examples are what Lebron did towards MJ, not one thing that Angel is doing, except for your outlandish hero worshiping of CC. Well I am glad that you think that the 7th pick in the draft and a rookie reminds you of LeBron. That’s a nice compliment.
The dynamic is that her fans are full of crap. Her only skill is being 6'3". When her fans won't admit she has flaws there will never be improvement.
6' 3" is averagish for an WNBA big.
@@HoHoHo5622 Yes, but the other "bigs" have other skills and athleticism. She does not.
I think Clark raised the bar for talent required to even be on a team let alone be a game legend. The records do the talking.
She had some nice highlights the second game. You didn’t show her cross over. I agree she needs to practice more this will bring comfort. She has the moves Angel use to be a point guard.
I would also like to add that someone needs to remind AR that this is a TEAM sport and she’s not the only player out there.
Offensive foul, travel?
Truth be told, Angle can get better but she’s gotta realize 1st that she absolutely needs to get better to garner the respect that she seeks but ultimately will not get with actually putting in the work
Iam sorry ,but everyone has to agree finally. AR won championship with the help of a good coach good players and it was not just AR. everyone and AR needs to wrap their heads around this. Nothing you do is going to make her better. Too unccorinated ,too heavy, can not dribble, can not use both right and left hands, can not shoot worth a darn. Should I go on? Stop all the BS admit it, one of the worst players in any league. Self adsorbed, All about her , Selfish, Center of attention, Ball hog
I think Lisa Leslie is the one who can help reese with her game but it's up to reese to see if wants to become a better basketball player.
I'm so glad we all care
Not all of us. Trust me, there are a few trolls in here.
I don't blame Lisa Leslie itching to want to mold and shape that Adonis of a sculpture that is Angel Reese. And honestly, if it would make her a better basketball player I am all for it! As I said many times over my adult life...if you give me a good product / game / show whatever the case is, to indulge my time in I will gladly do so. And to be honest, yes I want CC to win championships BUT I want it to be against the best of the best. Sports for me is always about the competition not Wins and Losses. God Bless you on purpose Adrienne and continue bringing this great content to us all. I see many engagements in the comments and absolutely love discussing our differences of opinion respectively while expanding my own 🙏♥ Keep it up @The Adrienne Ross Show
Thank you, sir!
*respectfully… darn autocorrect
Rickea is miles better than Angel. Heck even Aaliyah Edward’s but the sisterhood has chosen their golden child who they want to prop up
I agree with you 100%. Not athletic or particularly skillful, just her size and energy. And her shot... horrendous for a pro.
Insane commentary
"You play ball like a girl!" - Hamilton "Ham" Porter
… the more you know. 😁
She also made sure we know who the "point gawd" is
Adrienne, It's called Tough Love. But Reese doesn't know how to handle it. That's the true problem. And she'll finally get it after her career is over. After it's too late. The word for it is. Uncoachable
I am not sure the women of the league ever respected Lisa enough to get tips from her. Add to the fact thst she has spoken positively about CC and I think that might sour them even more against her.
To me, the W seems to have a greater respect for Candace Parker than Lisa Leslie. It would be great however, if there was a WNBA version of Hakeem Olajuwon where players can go to in order to get training from them. Parker or Leslie would be great at that. But Hakeem is deeply respected. I don't see that same for Lisa. But I could be wrong.
In the meantime Reese does have a trainer and instead of having her work on 3 pointers he needs to have her work more on her post techniques.
I do wish though that CLARK could that same love from players wanting to help her as Angel gets from everyone - even from Kahleah Copper teaching her Mikan drills
Reese should be working on WALKING, so uncoordinate
Angel has developed movements down low that may have worked very well in college, but, they do not translate to the pro game. The players are bigger, stronger, and more talented. Unfortunately, she has not adjusted her game. I have never seen a player down low who actively places herself in positions that add extreme difficulty to layups. Low post movements are meant to do the very opposite.
Is Reese just playing “streetball?” No rules just brute force.
Angel did learn basketball playing in Baltimore. She didn't play for a ghetto school, she actually went to an exclusive Catholic high school, I presume on an athletic scholarship. A friend of mine who grew up in the hood showed me what ghetto ball is like one time. It's basically a form of violent assault and battery with a basketball thrown in.
Your eyes don't lie the truth will set you free
Angel needs to be able to listen to and watch at what point Lisa was saying that.
How do you know she's not willing. I really wish Lisa will work with her, Reese Will definitely take in everything Lisa gives her.
All of her game needs a reboot.
I don't understand what coaches see in her except drama/what about me attitude
As much as I dislike Angel, I’ll still have to admit that her drive and determination make her one of the top players in the league. She’s going to get 10 or 12 rebounds per game and as long as the refs keep giving her free throws for jumping into defenders when she shoots, she’s going to score around 12 points per game. I’m afraid that eventually she’ll grow up and get serious about working on her game, hopefully she’ll stay more concerned about her image than improving her skills.
Angel could have a Tina Charles type career if she just develops a couple of post moves and a mid range jumper. I'm an Angel fan, but it pissed off even me, to see her shoot all those 3's. There's no reason for a big in the WNBA to be shooting all those 3, imo, unless you're the rare big who can hit at 35%+.
What coach was sorry to see Reese leave their program? None..
She push her way in as do others in the wnba because the officials don’t call or. Because of that it’s become art of the game
You are definitely not a hater. I think Angel is playing like she did in high school and college. Her game hasn't improved. She had so many other great players in college who carried her to the championship. She is a bully and nobody has called her on it. She needs a trainer who will be honest with Angel. She will never get better if she doesn't pass and continues to miss under the basket.
