One scoring stat, though, highlights the difference between them. <\/p>\n<p>Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese\u2019s rivalry was reignited recently when a video of Clark seemingly laughing behind Reese after a win went viral. The two have been pitted against one another since college. <\/p>\n<p>Their rivalry was a big factor in the WNBA gaining popularity after both were drafted. And it is good for the league when they are going head to head and being compared. <\/p>\n<p>Their careers in the W have been a little different. Reese\u2019s rebounding has been spectacular, but her scoring leaves a lot to be desired. And one stat a fan has pointed out shows the glaring difference. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-2282010752-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Indiana Fever v Atlanta Dream\" class=\"wp-image-2606284\" \/>Photo by Colin Hubbard\/Getty ImagesCaitlin Clark\u2019s true shooting percentage compared to Angel Reese shows the efficiency gap<\/p>\n<p>Clark is a guard, while Reese is a big. Caitlin has the undoubted advantage in playmaking, while Angel is arguably one of the best rebounders in WNBA history. <\/p>\n<p>However, considering that Reese plays close to the basket, she should ideally be more efficient from the field. As per a stat shared by a fan recently though, the inverse happens to be the case. <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/wnba\/comments\/1vr27qb\/the_five_least_efficient_players_averaging_at\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">fan on Reddit<\/a> showed that the Atlanta Dream star is among the bottom five players who average more than 10 shots when it comes to true shooting percentage. <\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/wnba\/ask\/angel-reese-true-shooting-percentage-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">per Statmuse<\/a>, the Fever star\u2019s true shooting percentage for the 2026 season sits at 60.5 percent. However, Reese sits at 49.7 percent, less than 50. <\/p>\n<p>This is the key difference between the two. Clark\u2019s game has its flaws, but none are as glaring as Reese\u2019s inefficiency. If she truly wants to grow into a long-term rival, she will have to improve on this front. <\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have had a rivalry on the court since&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[724,732,49,735,48,2803,82,630],"class_list":["post-862480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-angel-reese","tag-atlanta-dream","tag-ca","tag-caitlin-clark","tag-canada","tag-indiana-fever","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
