Angel Reese is proving she belongs in the WNBA
Angel Reese proved that she was that girl during her days at Louisiana State University and is doing the same as a rookie with the WNBA’s Chicago Sky.
With 13 games under her belt as a rookie, Reese is the only athlete from the 2024 WNBA Draft class averaging a double-double. Currently, the Baltimore native is shooting 37.1% from the floor and averaging 12.1 points as well as 10.2 rebounds per game.
While averaging a double-double is not an easy task due to the league’s physical play, Reese has made it look easy, securing double-double performances in her last six games, tying a league record. She’s also averaging 2.1 assists and 1.8 steals a game.
When she decided to enter the 2024 draft, Reese shared her desire to work her way up to the top, and she is doing just that. With a rookie class that features household names like fellow teammate Kamila Cardoso, Cameron Brink of the Los Angeles Sparks, Dallas Wings’ Jacy Sheldon, and her rival Caitlin Clark, Reese is emerging as a bonafide star.
“I wanted more for myself. I wanted to start over,” said Reese when asked about why she chose to go to the WNBA versus staying at LSU for another season.
“I feel like I had been at a high since the national championship and I want to hit rock bottom. I want to be a rookie again. I want to be knocked down by vets, and I want to be able to get up and grow and be a sponge.”
Reese may be getting knocked down given her team’s current 4-9 record, but that does not mean she’s the cause of that. Averaging a double-doubles is proof of her value—and what her future holds.
