Angel Reese identified Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu as among the best three-point shooters in the WNBA.
The trio of stars are up there as the most recognizable faces in the league with the Ionescu, 27, fresh off her first title with the New York Liberty, claiming the championship after defeating the Minnesota Lynx.
Reese and Clark, both 22, entered the WNBA on the back of highly distinguished college careers, with the pair facing off against each other in the NCAA championship game.
Reese led LSU to the title which put an end to Clark’s remarkable career with Iowa, where she became the NCAA’s leader in both scoring and assists. With the Chicago Sky star having created her ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast this year, she used to platform to shout out Clark and Ionescu during an chat with comedian Funny Marco.
After admitting that he’s a bigger WNBA fan than the NBA, Marco asked Reese to name who she thinks are the best three-point shooters in the league. Reese initially answered: “Between Caitlin, Diana Taurasi…”
She then asked Marco who he’d add into the conversation as he named Breanna Stewart and Ionescu, who Reese both agreed with. Out of four players, Clark had the best three-point percentage this past season with 34.4%, while the 20-year veteran Taurasi ranked second with 33.3% with Ionescu narrowly behind with 33.2%.
It was Stewart who had a career-worst performance from three this season, despite becoming a three-time champion. The two-time MVP could only muster up a disappointing percentage of 29.5% from the three-point line.
Prior to her debut WNBA season, Clark showered her rival with praise as she spoke out Reese’s deadliest attribute. “The thing that really stands out is the offensive rebounding,” the Indiana Fever star said. “She did the exact same thing to us when we were in college too. She’s just such a great offensive rebounder.
“She’s always just had a knack for that. It’s not always something you can teach. I think she just has a really good eye for the ball off the rim and can go get it.”
