Despite a slight dip in shooting numbers this season compared to her previous performance, Reese continues to showcase her dominance as a double-double threat on the court. Projected as a top 10 pick, the anticipation builds as teams consider selecting her. Even with the draft just around the corner, Reese remains dedicated to her training regimen, showing her commitment to success.

Angel Reese is ready to start WNBA journey

Speaking with Vogue’s Leah Faye Cooper, Reese is aware of what’s next for her after accomplishing so much in her college basketball career. To be in a position to start from the beginning upon arrival in the WNBA excites her and she is looking forward to getting started.

“My ultimate goal is to be a pro — and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever,” Reese said. “I feel like I’m ready. … I want to start at the bottom again. I want to be a rookie again and build myself back up; I want to be knocked down and learn and grow at the next level.”

LSU v Iowa

Following a disappointing 94-87 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Women’s Championship Elite Eight Round, Angel Reese remains determined to get back up and prove the doubters wrong with her imminent arrival in the professional league.

During her final game playing for the LSU Tigers, she put up 17 points (7-of-21 shooting), 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, but it wasn’t enough to propel her team over Caitlin Clark’s Hawkeyes.

With her departure from the Tigers to head to the pros, LSU coach Kim Mulkey showered praise on Angel Reese in a released statement. She credited the work that Reese put in to deliver the team’s first national championship.

When it comes down to it, Reese’s efforts and contributions advanced LSU’s basketball program and also shifted its culture in the proper direction, setting up a new standard for the future generation to follow up on.

As of now, all that remains is for Reese to make her mark in the big league against some of the most elite basketball players in the world.
