Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will become even more successful next month when the latest NBA 2K5 video game is released.
The WNBA stars will be featured in the game, which is set to be released in early September. The creators have already stoked the excitement by giving a first look at the duo in the game world.
However, fans were more impressed with Reese’s likeness than Clark’s, as was evident from the many reactions on social media on Wednesday.
“Angel looks good but CC looks like a potato,” one fan said in the comments.
Another agreed: ‘They treated Caitlin so dirty.’

Another follower said: ‘Is that the best in-game pic you’ve come up with? Not that good.’
The reactions to Reese were much more positive, with most fans saying they were impressed by the resemblance to the real-life Chicago Sky player.
“This is really good,” said one fan, while another wrote, “This is absolutely accurate, I’m not gonna lie.”
The WNBA resumes play Thursday after a four-week hiatus that coincided with the Olympic Games.
Reese and Sky kick off the season in Chicago against Phoenix Mercury, with Clark and Indiana Fever playing the Mercury the next day.
Both Clark and Reese are in contention for Rookie of the Year. Fever are seventh in the standings at 11-15 and Sky are one spot behind at 10-14.
The two debutants are responsible for the growing interest in women’s football.

In college, they were rivals with Clark at Iowa and Reese at LSU. In this year’s draft in New York, Clark was selected first and Reese seventh.
However, they did play together in the recent All-Star game before the season was halted.
Reese and Clark will play each other again on August 30 in Chicago when Sky hosts the Fever.
