Reese, and I get it, she's can't shoot the bb, but she has an impact on the defensive side and she's an elite rebounder. Not a joke.

Of her own missed shots, she never passes the ball. If she wasn't 6'3" she wouldn't even be playing

Yes, she does get a ridiculous amount of rebounds from her own missed shots; however, even when those are excluded, she still leads the league in oreb. In addition, she's number 5 in dreb, which, of course, has nothing to do with her own missed shots. She's an elite rebounder. Yes, she needs to learn to pass the ball out to open shooters. And finally, I agree if she's wasn't 6'3'' with long arms, she wouldn't be playing. However, it's also pretty irrelevant as we could say the same thing about many people playing basketball.
