Angel Reese Names the Best Teammate She's Ever Had Without Hesitation

Angel Reese Names the Best Teammate She's Ever Had Without Hesitation originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Throughout both her college and professional careers, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has had the luxury of playing with some pretty big names and talents.

Whether it was Flau'jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow at LSU or Courtney Vandersloot and Marina Mabrey with the Sky, the list of tremendous teammates goes on and on.

However, following the Sky's Sunday 80-75 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, Reese was asked about the versatility of Michaela Onyenwere. A question that casually led to her calling Onyenwere the best teammate she has ever played with.

"I mean, obviously, the versatility with her," Reese said. "We can switch 3-5 and that's something that's great for us. She has been resilient for us all throughout the year with her coming in the starting lineup, coming out of it and just playing a role. She's the best teammate I've probably ever had. She's always smiling, she's always cheering even when it's not going great for her."

Reese also said that Onyenwere can put a smile on the team's face at any time with her support, as she cheers on everyone else's accomplishments as if they were her own.

The Sky got strong outings from both Reese and Onyenwere, as they combined for 27 points and 25 rebounds. While they weren't able to pull off the upset, the Sky did show some improvements offensively and continuity-wise as it seemed to take a while to adapt to the offense of new head coach Tyler Marsh.

The Sky will have a chance to bounce back on Tuesday against the Washington Mystics.
