Angel Reese’s Role Reimagined as Chicago Sky Eyes Mid-Range Shift
Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese is facing a major shift in her role as the team moves her away from the paint to focus on mid-range shooting. Due to struggles finishing at the rim, the coaching staff is prioritizing her development as a stretch-four, sparking debate about her adaptability.
“Reese’s finishing issues have limited her effectiveness,” insiders noted, “forcing a rethinking of her offensive responsibilities.”
With Kennedy Carter sidelined, defenses have honed in on Reese, exposing her lack of footwork and hesitation near the basket. The team is now aiming to enhance her scoring range and improve offensive spacing.
However, transitioning to a mid-range role is a tough ask. Reese’s slow shot release and unrefined shooting form pose significant challenges in the fast-paced WNBA.
Despite these hurdles, she’s working hard to evolve her game ahead of the upcoming Barcelona preseason match — a critical test of her progress.
“This transformation could unlock her full potential,” said a team coach. “But it all depends on her commitment and growth.”
The next few months will define Reese’s future trajectory in the league.
