Sheryl Swoopes believes Angel Reese may have exceeded more expectations than Caitlin Clark

During her time on the Gilbert Arenas show, Sheryl Swoopes expressed her opinion on the Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark debate. The WNBA Icon said that in her opinion, the Chicago Sky rookie had exceeded more expectations than the Indiana Fever rookie star.

“Since the Olympic break, I think Caitlin Clark has been a hell of a player every single game. To me Angel may have exceeded expectations even more so than Caitlin,” Swoopes said.

“When you’re drafted number one you’re drafted number one for a reason… When you look at Angel drafted number 7, the expectations of people on her weren’t the same.”
