Angel Reese makes Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu claim in WNBA praise

New York Liberty superstar Sabrina Ionescu and Chicago Sky’s Caitlin Clark have been given high praise by their fellow Angel Reese as the trio are tipped to be the best 3-point shooters in the WNBA.

Angel Reese hailed Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu as two of the WNBA’s finest three-point shooters.

The league is now stacked with eye-catching talent. The more experienced 27-year-old Ionescu celebrated her first championship with the New York Liberty after toppling the Minnesota Lynx in October.

Meanwhile, the young duo of Reese and Clark, both 22, burst onto the professional scene earlier this year after shining at college level. They clashed in the 2024 NCAA title game with Reese and LSU halting Clark’s impressive career at Iowa, where she set records in scoring and assists.

On her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel’, the Chicago Sky star didn’t shy away from praising Clark and Ionescu while chatting with Funny Marco. The comedian, who made his passion for the WNBA clear, asked Reese to name the best shooters of the league.

Initially, she mentioned: “Between Caitlin, Diana Taurasi…” She then sought Marco’s opinion, who brought Breanna Stewart and Ionescu into the mix, choices Reese concurred with.

Statistically, this past campaign Clark led the quartet in three-point efficiency at 34.4%, followed closely by veteran Taurasi’s 33.3% and Ionescu trailing just slightly with 33.2%. Despite being a three-time champion, Stewart turned in her worst three-point shooting season ever, hitting a mere 29.5% from deep.

There’s mutual respect between Reese and Clark

Clark has also previously sung Reese’s praises, saying earlier this year: “The thing that really stands out is the offensive rebounding. 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.”.

While Clark led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016, Reese couldn’t do the same with the Sky, who had a dismal 13-27 record this past season.
