Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are making headlines this Friday for the wrong reasons.

During an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca addressed the Sky's struggles this season. They're 2-6 heading into this Friday's game against the Atlanta Dream.

Even though Reese is averaging 10.1 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, Pagliocca isn't content with what he's seeing from the second-year forward.

"That’s something that has yet to come together, but it’s a necessity for us to win," Pagliocca said. "She’s had some great games, and she’s had some games like everybody else that haven’t been her best. But she’s our best chance at versatility on this roster. We need more production out of her, but we need her to help us in other ways, too."

Chicago fans weren't thrilled with Pagliocca's comments about Reese. They thought they were unprofessional and uncalled for.

Some fans are so furious with Pagliocca's comments that Chicago is facing serious pressure to make a change at general manager.

"You say this but when the coach is asked what can he do to get Angel going offensively, he has no answer and says it’s important to get everyone going offensively," one fan replied. "Chicago Sky’s organization is a dumpster fire."

"Fire Jeff," another fan declared.

"Dawg she's led your team in points several times this year," a third fan said. "She would have a ton more assists if the team could shoot. She leads the league in rebounding and she's the second best 3 point shooter apparently that you have on the team lol."

"Fire this guy already worst gm in the league," a social media user commented.

Making a huge change to the front office just one month into the season would be a bit extreme.

That being said, the Sky have far too many problems to be pinning them on Reese.
