Angel Reese is leading the WNBA in double-doubles so far in her rookie season with the Chicago Sky, and Stephen A. Smith is ready to crown her with an end-of-the-season award. During First Take, Smith made an honest opinion on what he thinks about Reese’s season so far.
“Angel Reese, she may be Rookie of the Year. She’s special,” Smith said. “Let me tell you this right now, I don’t care what anybody says, because she can play, she’s no scrub, she’s a walking double-double. Marketing ability matters, and if you can have that girl on the team, make sure you do it, because that’s going to elevate the popularity of the sport, and a rising tide lifts all boats.”
Throughout the season, Reese and Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark have been the only two in the conversation for Rookie of the Year, but the Chicago forward may have the lead in many people’s eyes.
