Angel Reese rebounding controversy: The proof that Sky rookie isn’t stat-padding and is WNBA’s best rebounder
Angel Reese is the best offensive rebounder in the country, and it’s not close.
The Sky rookie’s 4.9 offensive rebounds per game leads the WNBA by a wide margin. Teammate Kamilla Cardoso sits in second place, at 3.5 per game. That 3.5 mark is the same that Teaira McCowan led the league with last season.
Reese is on pace for 196 offensive rebounds this year. That would smash through the single-season record of 162 set by Yolanda Griffith in 2001.
Instead of getting praise for an elite skill, Reese’s rebounding has oddly been used as a criticism against her by many of her haters. A screenshot of an obviously doctored box score in which Reese grabbed five offensive rebounds off her own missed had received over 62,000 likes on X over the July 4th weekend.
