If no one else will speak up for her Atlanta Dream teammates, Angel Reese says she will.Despite Atlanta tied atop the Eastern Conference standings at 12-8, no Dream players were selected as All-Star Game starters. Reese said the exclusion of her teammates Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, and other Dream players, was “disrespectful.”“I expect to be disrespected,” Reese said. “For those two, though, I think they work so hard, and they put a lot of work in, and the way that they’re guarded every game and they (have to) adjust. The reason why we’re where we are is because of those two.”All-Star Game starters were released earlier in the day Thursday by the league. The selections are determined by a weighted combination of voting categories: 50 percent by fan votes, and 25 percent from each of player votes and selected media votes. Howard ranked in the top four in media and player voting but only ninth in fan voting. Gray ranked seventh in fan voting but eighth by media and sixth by players. Reese ranked sixth across the board.Reese listed various statistical categories in which Dream players rank among the top. Reese leads the league with 11.6 rebounds per game (11.6), and Howard leads the league with 2.5 steals per game and ranks second with 3.2 3-pointers per game. Guard Jordin Canada ranks second in the league with 2.1 steals a game.
