Angel Reese Doubles Down on Major WNBA Award Declaration

Angel Reese, an Atlanta Dream player, has reaffirmed her belief that a member of the team will win the WNBA Defensive Player of the Year award. Reese, who currently leads the league in defensive win shares, praised the Dream's defense during an interview on ESPN's NBA Today, highlighting the team's top three defenders - herself, Rhyne Howard, and Jordin Canada.

The Dream boast the second-best defensive rating in the WNBA, generate the highest turnover rate, and have the best defensive rebounding rate in the league. Reese's prediction aligns with Dream head coach Karl Smesko, who believes all three players deserve consideration for the All-Defensive Team.
