We are roughly one month into the 2024 WNBA season, and viewership is at an all-time high. The impressive numbers the WNBA is drawing in are due, in large part, to this year’s rookie class.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese have quickly become the most talked-about rookies in the league. Their dynamic playing styles and captivating rivalry have injected a new level of excitement into the basketball scene.
Their rivalry originated during their college careers, with Caitlin representing the Iowa Hawkeyes and Angel playing for the LSU Tigers.
In a recent video posted on social media by NBA Vibe Vault, Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. made a guest appearance. Porter Jr. shared his thoughts on how Clark and Reese would fair against him and in the NBA.
When asked if Reese could score on Porter Jr., he dismissed the question as if it were absurd. Porter Jr. proceeded to speak about Clark.
“Caitlin’s cold. That’s the one girl. If she was in an NBA game, on defense she would get cooked, but offensively, she’ll knock down some corner threes or a swing swing three because she can shoot from that far,” Porter Jr. said.

While Clark and Reese are set to dominate the WNBA for many years, Porter Jr. doesn’t see them having much success if they took their talents to the NBA.
