"Julian Reese & Angel Reese are the first brother-sister duo in NBA/WNBA history to each have a 20-rebound game in their respective leagues. Both accomplished the feat as rookies."
"Angel Reese is one of the most prolific rebounders in the WNBA. She averaged a double-double in both of her two seasons with the Sky and broke several records. For example, she holds the record for most consecutive games with at least 15 rebounds, the record for most consecutive double-doubles, and the record for the most offensive boards in a single season."
"The Wizards never would have signed Julian Reese if he hadn't had a chance to prove himself in the G League with the Raptors 905."
Julian Reese, a two-way rookie for the Washington Wizards, delivered an impressive performance with 18 points and 20 rebounds in a loss to the Jazz. This achievement created historic crossover significance: Julian and his sister Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky became the first sibling duo to each record 20-rebound games in their respective leagues, both accomplishing the feat as rookies. Rebounding runs deep in the Reese family. Angel established herself as one of the WNBA's premier rebounders, holding multiple records including most consecutive games with 15+ rebounds and most offensive boards in a season. Julian followed her example, averaging nine rebounds per game in his college senior year. After going undrafted, Julian played Summer League for the Lakers before earning an Exhibit 10 contract with Toronto, developing in the G League with Raptors 905 before his NBA opportunity.
