Opinion | Angel Reese's criticisms of Sky are valid and she has no reason to apologize

The pearl clutching over Angel Reese’s criticisms of the Chicago Sky is a bit much.

And by a bit much, I mean utter nonsense.

First, nothing Reese told the Chicago Tribune was wrong. The Sky is slumping toward the end of yet another dismal season, in third-to-last place in the WNBA standings at 10-30. Saying the team needs a significant roster upgrade was simply stating the obvious.

Even Reese’s concern about the point guard position, specifically the Sky banking on Courtney Vandersloot’s return from a torn ACL, is rooted in reality, harsh as it might be.

“We can’t rely on Courtney to come back at the age that she’s at,” Reese told the Tribune. “I know she’ll be a great asset for us, but we can’t rely on that. We need someone probably a little younger with some experience, somebody who’s been playing the game and is willing to compete for a championship and has done it before.”
