I'm not gonna make myself watch any of these games; but I can always count on some random white guy nerd to subject himself to that tape and do a breakdown that sums things up aptly:

Of her 152 offensive boards so far this season, I counted 37 coming from her own missed attempts, and an additional 15 off her own attempts being blocked. So 52 total of the 152, or right around a third. That's undoubtedly a lot - her rebound numbers are being somewhat 'padded' by being right there to clean up her own mistakes

The biggest issue with Reese's game is the number of these offensive rebound opportunities that she presents herself with. Shooting below 40% from the field is concerning if you're a small guard taking a lot of threes and creating a lot of those shots off the dribble from the perimeter. Reese has virtually no jump shot and takes 85% of her shots from inside eight feet. She has an unorthodox technique that launches the ball from far too low, which is part of why she comfortably leads the league in getting her shots blocked. Much as adding a jump shot to her game to increase her threat from outside the paint would be valuable, becoming significantly more efficient on those finishes around the rim should be the first order of business.
