A recently uploaded compilation video has gone viral, ruthlessly showcasing Angel Reese‘s struggles around the basket this season.

Titled “BricksCenter,” the video runs over eight minutes and focuses on Reese‘s numerous missed layups, with the commentator harshly critiquing her performance.

“She has an atrocious ability to finish around the basket with efficiency,” the commentator states, pointing out that Reese is shooting just 40.2% from the field and a worrying 13% on shots five to nine feet from the basket.

The video particularly emphasizes 13 instances where Reese missed the entire rim on layup attempts, painting a bleak picture of her scoring ability this season.

The timing of the video’s release seems almost calculated, as it coincides with the resumption of the WNBA season and the ongoing debate over who will take home the Rookie of the Year award.

Caitlin Clark’s Strong Bid for Rookie of the Year

In contrast, Caitlin Clark has been nothing short of impressive. Her shooting statistics tell a story of efficiency and skill, with Clark shooting 40.5% from the field, despite attempting over eight three-pointers per game.

This stands in stark contrast to Reese‘s numbers, where the majority of her shots come from inside the paint, yet she still struggles to convert at the same rate as Clark.

Clark‘s performance, coupled with the viral video highlighting Reese’s shortcomings, has only strengthened her position as the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year.

While Reese is leading the league in rebounding and could potentially have a breakout second half of the season, the gap between her and Clark in terms of scoring efficiency is significant.

Reese is undoubtedly a talented player with the potential for a successful career in the WNBA. However, to elevate her game from good to great, improving her efficiency around the rim is crucial.

The video, while harsh, underscores the areas where Reese needs to improve if she hopes to compete for top honors like Rookie of the Year.

As the WNBA season resumes, all eyes will be on both Reese and Clark to see how they perform under pressure.

For Reese, it’s a chance to silence critics and prove that she’s more than just a rebound specialist, while for Clark, it’s an opportunity to solidify her status as the league’s top rookie.
