Reese's case is strong. As the outlet noted, the MVP award rarely goes to a true guard — the last time that happened was 2019 when Elena Delle Donne won — and Reese has the total stat score to make a case for herself. Reese, who is averaging 18.8 points, 12.8 boards and 3.6 assists, is sixth in the league based on stat score.

Angel Reese had another double-double on Monday as the Chicago Sky lost at home to the Minnesota Lynx. The 22-point, 10-rebound performance was her ninth consecutive double-double and the 41st of her career in just 55 games and she's the only player in the WNBA averaging a double-double.
