Angel Reese remains focused on contributing to her team's winning ways over rebounding numbers
It's not the numbers or the praises that matter to Angel Reese but being an effective contributor to her team is what's important to her.
On July 5, Reese recorded 27 points (61.5% shooting) and 10 rebounds, which was her 12th consecutive double-double. Following her performance, she highlighted how her rebounding numbers were a product of her willingness to be a reliable rebounder for her team, as per ESPN.
"I don't really think about it," Reese said. "I just go out there and do my job. My job is to rebound, so I'm going to go out there and do my job and rebound. I know that's what my teammates need me to do, and I've committed to that."
Despite not being regarded as a premier scoring forward, Reese knows that one of the strengths of her game is her presence on the boards. It has also been a huge factor to the Sky's success considering the number of times she has given her team extra possessions.
