Reese is one of the most tenacious on-ball defenders in the WNBA, as well as one of the most versatile. She can defend all three frontcourt positions at a high level, and is even comfortable when switched onto guards. Reese is also one of the best possession-enders in the league, averaging a combined 10.0 defensive rebounds and steals per game last season that led the league, ahead of even Defensive Player of the Year winner A'ja Wilson (9.5 R+S/game). Reese isn't the shot-blocker that Wilson is, but she already has a great defensive reputation among her peers that led to her being named DPOY of Unrivaled in 2025. And Reese will have much less offensive pressure on her with the talented Dream than she had in her first two seasons with the Sky, allowing her to potentially focus even more energy on the defensive end.
