- WNBA. What time is Indiana Fever vs Seattle Storm? TV Channel and schedule for tomorrow's WNBA game
- Indiana Fever. Christie Sides facing criticism after four straight losses: You coach Indiana Fever, you haven't won a game...she's got to go
Angel Reese continues to transition to the WNBA nicely after being selected as the overall seventh pick in the 2024 draft, but how tall is the Chicago Sky's forward? Is she a big power player or a nimble and agile precision player?
Reese lit up the NCAA with the Louisiana State University Tigers in the Women's Division I league as she went on to win the national championship in 2023 and made the quarterfinals of the competition in 2024 too.
As the figurehead of the LSU offense, the youngster posted impressive statistics throughout her college career posting 23 points per game, 15.4 rebounds per game and 2.3 assists per game before her stats fell slightly a season later to 18.6 points per game and 13.4 rebounds per game, whilst her assists remained the same.
But what kind of player was she? Well, at the height of 6ft 3in, Reese is not a short person and stands an entire foot taller than the average global height of a woman and weights 165 pounds too, meaning she isn't easy to bully on the court.
For example, Catilin Clark, who was her rival in the NCAA, where she often posted 30-point games, and now the WNBA, stands at 6ft and weighs 154lbs, meaning Reese is substantially bigger.
In fact, Reese is the same height as players such as Ja Morant, Jrue Holiday and Russell Westbrook whilst she is taller than the legendary Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, famed for his lethal ability at shooting three-pointers.
It allows her to be able to power her way around in games but can also work against her too, as being larger means the court is smaller and thus, she cannot find space against very experienced and intelligent rivals within the WNBA.
How tall would Reese be if she was a man?
So, for newer fans of the WNBA, who aren't familiar with women players, Reese's size advantage might be hard to gauge so what would she look like if she was a male player in the NBA?
Interestingly, to match the average height of an American man, the Chicago Sky prospect would only need to find another six inches to push herself up to 6ft 9.
But if she did so, that would make her as tall as iconic stars of the top league of basketball in the world such as LeBron James, Karl Malone, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, all who have countless accolades and plaudits from highly successful careers.
