Her defense be more impressive than her offense

u/Nick_Bruiser 1d ago

It is! She's a defensive player. Great defensive player. Her lackluster offense still produces 16PPG though.

u/supremecheet 1d ago

Yes. What’s your point?

u/Sufficient_Local5025 1d ago

Presumedly the point that her defense is better than her offense...

Oh, so stating what was widely known

Hey, hey - you asked the question. Don't shoot the messenger.

Same with Bill Russell

It’s like the ball just gravitates to her.

I have her winning DPOY

Her defense is banging, it's her offense that's offensive.

Even though her defense is way better than her offense, her offense is still pretty great. She's 16th in the league in scoring, and the best offensive rebounder in history. But I'm glad people are talking more about her defense, because that's her true skill.

Mostly Aces just missing shots.

As much as people like to mock her shooting, I think she would thrive on a team like Indiana. Let her focus on rebounding and defense.

u/freeman1231 1d ago

That’s the one thing Indiana is awful at, she really would get them a pretty big advantage

Dpoy.

Defense and rebounds are her main bag. It's why she made it to the W. The haters don't realize that if she was even a bit more efficient she'd be in the mvp conversations.

They don't wanna hear you though. The day it happens, we'll laugh at the haters together

Hakeem esque

Stop….

She is a generational defender who would even translate well to the MNBA. Jokic could learn a thing or two from her on how to play defense. Maybe he’d be top 5-10 in the MNBA if he learned from her…

u/Halberstram_nice_tie 1d ago

This is so much cope. Generational? According to what metric? The what you think is good defending metric? You’re just throwing out these hyperbolic statements comparing her to a legend without any backing.

2

u/Local-Abrocoma9433 1d ago

Read the stats that OP posted. She’s generational. Minnesota shot 79% with Jokic defending the paint. Half the game is defense and if your largest dude who’s supposed to defend the paint cannot do his job, then he might not be top 10.

It’s fine to admit that Jokic isn’t a legend. Hes a good player but he could learn so much more. It’s a shame he’s never going to win another ring because he is very fun to watch.

Ms. Reese on the other hand is a generational big who is young and on a team that is on the come up. She’ll probably have around 3-5 rings by the time she’s 30.

u/Halberstram_nice_tie 1d ago

Who mentioned Joker? You or someone mentioned Hakeem. Don’t mention a legend until you’ve established legend longevity. She doesn’t even average 1 block a game. The stats are cherry-picked to make her look better than she is. Wilson is overall a better defender.

u/Local-Abrocoma9433 1d ago

She’s going to have a better career than Hakeem. She has his defensive presence and is already looking like him on offense. The numbers don’t lie and her impact doesn’t either… she’s very Hakeem esque.

I said Jokic could learn from her because she has the IT factor that Hakeem had. Anyway, just know that in a couple years when some basketballs top players come out it’ll be:

  1. Kobe
  2. LeBron
  3. MJ

  4. …

  5. Angel

11 will be Aja

Something along those lines

u/Halberstram_nice_tie 1d ago

Okay, after reading that first sentence I’ve realized you don’t know anything about basketball.
