Wendell Carter Jr. claimed that he and Angel Reese can beat Bam Adebayo and A'ja Wilson

Fans have invested in which NBA-WNBA couple would dominate on the court. Bam Adebayo and A'ja Wilson are another couple who many believe would be a great duo. However, Wendell Carter Jr. believes that he and Angel Reese has what it takes to beat the couple in a hypothetical 2-on-2 match.

“I definitely feel like I’m one of the most versatile bigs in the league. You look at a guy like Bam, who’s the ideal type for everyone. I think he’s the most versatile big in the league. I’m right up there with him. I feel like I can do pretty much anything that’s needed,” Carter said during the Magic's Media Day for the 2025-26 season.

Carter said his duo with Reese will be defensively versatile. He also boasted about how they can pass the rock well and make open shots. According to the Magic big man, he ranks him and the WNBA up due to their versatility.

“In terms of the 2-on-2, definitely 11-0, Wardell and Angel for sure. Shoutout Bam and A’ja though.”

It will be an interesting matchup. Adebayo is one of the best defensive bigs and has been named to three All-Star games. Wilson, on the other hand, is one of the best players in the WNBA, winning the MVP four times.

Still, Wendell Carter Jr. is confident in his duo with Reese.
