Angel Reese has been a perfect fit for the Atlanta Dream, providing an inside presence on the boards and clutch points to keep the offense balanced. After 13 games, the Dream has one of the best records in the WNBA, and Reese has been on a double-double tear.

Reese’s Impact on the Team

Reese has filled in for injured center Brionna Jones and will move back to forward when Jones returns. The Dream’s lineup will become even more daunting with Jones’ return, as Reese will join a talented group of players, including Rhyne Howard, Jordin Canada, and Allisha Gray.

The Dream have become accustomed to moving their biggest games to State Farm Arena, the home of the NBA’s Hawks, due to the limited capacity of their primary home, Gateway Center Arena in College Park. Reese’s rivalry with Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark has added to the excitement of their upcoming matchups.

Reese’s Performance

Reese is averaging 14.6 points and leads the WNBA with 12.3 rebounds per game. She has already recorded nine double-doubles this season and set a career high with 11 offensive boards in a recent win against the Toronto Raptors.

Reese’s defense has also been a key factor in the Dream’s success, with coach Karl Smesko praising her tenacity and work ethic. As the Dream prepare for important back-to-back games against the Fever, Reese is focused on being patient and pacing herself to achieve her first winning season in the league.
