She averaged 13.6 points and a league-leading 13.1 rebounds in 34 appearances, and she would&#8217;ve held on to the single-season rebounding record if it weren&#8217;t for a wrist injury that sidelined her for Chicago&#8217;s last six games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Reese also averaged double-double in 15 consecutive games to set a new benchmark there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">There simply wasn&#8217;t a compelling case to put the 22-year-old in the MVP conversation, though, let alone listing her as high as fourth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">The Sky faded badly in the second half of the campaign and wound up with the third-worst record in the league (13-27). Building an MVP candidacy for any player on a lottery team is difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<div class=\"molecule nr-video-manager\">\n<div id=\"video-wrapper-10136358_recommendedVideo\" class=\"molecule videoPlayer bitmovinPlayer\">\n<div id=\"video-10136358_recommendedVideo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"atom video-indicator\">\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">With Reese, it&#8217;s even tricker to quantify her value to the Sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">Her gaudy rebounding totals and WNBA-best 26 double-doubles certainly jump out, and Chicago was 21.8 points per 100 possessions better with her on the court, per\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stats.wnba.com\/team\/1611661329\/onoffcourt-advanced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WNBA.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<div class=\"youtubeEmbed molecule\">\n<div class=\"iframe atom\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EyvlV5z5rzU?autoplay=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;height=100%25\" class=\"content\" title=\"Best of Angel Reese: First Half of 2024 Season Highlights\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EyvlV5z5rzU?autoplay=0&amp;cc_load_policy=0&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;height=100%25\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">But she shot just 39.1 percent from the field and averaged more turnovers (2.2) than assists (1.9).
