Rookie of the Year contender Angel Reese is getting destroyed on social media after missing multiple clear layups against the Connecticut Sun on Friday night.
Reese scored 13 points and 20 rebounds in the 82-80 loss, registering yet another double-double.
But the sky could have used those layups she missed, given that they only lost by two.

While Feese has come under fire for her misses in recent times, fans were still in disbeliet given how easy the chances were, with one even accusing her of point shaving.
“How do you miss those bro “one asked. “Is she point shaving?” another inquired. “I don’t realize how awful this is from a professional athlete. It’s not even funny anymore it’s embarrassing,” someone wrote.
“It is insane how bad she is and yet a ton of people keep saying she’s really good. It is WILD to me,” someone else claimed. “I don’t understand.
If she was a jack and took heavily contested shots that’s one thing But I legit don’t understand why her open finishes are bad,” another comment noted.
Angel Reese Is On A Historic Tear Despite her foibles in the paint, Reese is breaking all sorts of records, and her outing on Friday night marked another milestone as she became the first player to record two consecutive 20-rebound games in WNBA history.
Should she remаіn оn расе, she will end the season with the league’s highest-ever rebound average. She currently averages 12.6 a game, while no one else has touched 12.0, though two players have averaged 11.9 in previous seasons.
