We aren\u2019t saying Chicago Sky<\/a> forward Angel Reese is A\u2019ja Wilson. What we are saying is, she isn\u2019t the only one capable of historic things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recently, the former WNBA MVP<\/a> made some headlines. In what was expected to be a routine night against the lowly Connecticut Sun yesterday, Wilson was forced to play her A game. What that ultimately resulted in was 32 points and 20 rebounds, the first 30-20 game in WNBA history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no other way to put this: Wilson is the best player in the world. That statement has been true for the last handful of seasons, by the way. So it isn\u2019t surprising to see what she just accomplished. With that said, her name won\u2019t be the only one in the history books for long.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reese is a rebounding machine. Arguably, the best rebounder in WNBA history. If she isn\u2019t already, she\u2019s certainly on her way. Her 22 rebound game on August 25th, 2024, ranks as the third most boards in history. She also has three total games with at least 20 rebounds, good for fourth best all time. She\u2019s currently behind only Tina Charles, Jonquel Jones and Sylvia Fowles.\u00a0And there’s more.<\/p>\n

Just last season, Reese\u2019s first in the league, her 13.1 rebounds a night were the most boards averaged for a single season. Fast forward to today, and her 12.5 boards a night ranks second on that list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, when it comes to crashing the glass, it\u2019s safe to say that Reese won\u2019t have a problem racking up a few more 20-rebound games, but what about the scoring department? That shouldn\u2019t be much of an issue either.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, Reese is averaging a career-high 14.2 points a night. She hasn\u2019t quite hit the 30-point mark just yet, but she did score a career high 27 points on July 5th, 2024. She also has eight total games of at least 20 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another reason why we\u2019re convinced she\u2019ll notch at least one 30-20 game in her career, if not multiple, is the lack of help around her. Reese\u2019s Sky are currently 8-23, and unless the front office makes a few moves, the franchise will continue to pin everything on her shoulders. And while that may not result in many wins, in terms of her individual stats, they won\u2019t be lacking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For now, Wilson deserves all of the credit in the world and a ton of shine. But in no time, Reese will soon join her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
