Suu Bard weighs on the continuous backlash of Angel Reese on social media
WNBA Legend Suu Bard discusses the negative comments surrounding Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese on social media.
Seriously
Chicago Sky Forward Angel Reese recently earned it First Career Triple-DabbleThere is an indication that the reese is going deep into the bag. Such an increase helps not only the sky but also its WNBA development.
Chicago has not been good this season. Akash was 2–7, before winning 78–66 against the connecting sun on Sunday. Fair or not, Reese received a lot of online ridicule during his season as one of the franchise faces. Most of the chatter had been about her ability to finish on the rim, grabbing the rebound and some other fans felt that she was not bringing the table as the team’s struggle.
“He was some great sports, and he was some like everyone like everyone that was not the best,” Sky General Manager Jeff Paglioca said about the Reese. “But he is our best chance in versatility on this roster. We need to produce more than that, but we need to help him in other ways too.”
What Pagliyaka was indicating is that to be successful of the sky, Reese needed to find other methods to be impressive. Enter the point-forward angel rease.
Outside for the Curvern Vandersloot season with the initial point guard, the Reese, a former point guard, unlocked his underrated passing skills (he had 11 assistants) against the Sun and showed a possible new way for him to get the most from his WNBA career.
Angel Reese put a full performance vs. Sun together to record his first career Triple-Dabble.

Looking at 11 points, 13 rebounds and 11 aids from the reese means one thing means: he should bow to the full Elisa Thomas. What does a full Elisa Thomas mean? Allow me to explain. It is not a high-legend shooter. He is very calculated with his shots. Phoenix mercury is usually about five to eight shots a matchup (sometimes more depending on the position), and most of its work is done near or around the basket. Like Reese, he is a very good rebounder, but he is also a brilliant passer.
When you add those abilities, you have a very effective player and a triple-dobbal machine. Thomas currently owns 15 out of 44 triple-dabbles in WNBA historyMost by any individual player. What is more, she led the league to assist in 2023 and in 2024 only the Indiana fever guard was second for assistance behind Ketleen Clarke.
Now, Reese may not have suddenly started churning triple-dabbles regularly, but if he is capable of putting a winning formula for effectiveness as he had done against the connecticut, his double-rebellion points and rebounds can be a healthy mixture and also points and assistance. Additionally, any future triple-dabbles will not look unusual because it will already bend into scoring, crashes boards, and as it grows, provides much more convenience.
Transparently, Reese does not need to do all this for Chicago, and does not need to be a particularly high scorer to help him feel its presence or to win the team. Now, this head coach is to detect the correct mixture of production on Tyler Marsh and their employees. His development is awaited.
