Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, and several others contribute to making this WNBA draft one of the most intriguing and eagerly awaited in recent memory.
In the imminent WNBA Draft, there’s a consensus on Caitlin Clark’s destination, expected to be the Indiana Fever as the top overall pick. However, the focus shifts to the next standout player in college basketball, Angel Reese, and where she’ll land.
With the WNBA Draft happening tonight, numerous forecasts speculate on the future destinations of top-tier players.
According to the New York Post’s projections, Caitlin Clark is poised to be the number one pick, while they anticipate Angel Reese dropping to the Chicago Sky, who possess the seventh pick in the draft.
Via their projection and reasoning:
No. 7 Chicago Sky: Angel Reese, LSU, PF
You might be thinking: “What?!? How is Reese so low — she put up monster stats, was the best player on a title team, and is one of the faces of the sport!” Well, there are also pressing questions about how Reese’s game will translate: Can she continue her signature offensive rebounding rate (6.0 per game over two LSU seasons) against pros? Will her awkward-angle finishing and utter lack of shooting remove her as a scoring threat? What about that mystery midseason absence? The Sky, who traded up one pick into this spot Sunday morning, have a new head coach in Teresa Weatherspoon who has mentored Zion Williamson and a need for more Q rating.
Apart from the New York Post’s assessment, alternate forecasts suggest Reese could be selected as high as the fifth pick by the Dallas Wings.
Reese emerged as one of the top earners in college basketball this season through NIL deals. Her exceptional performance in the final game, where she tallied 17 points and 20 rebounds against the Hawkeyes despite a loss in the Elite Eight, underscored her immense value. Reflecting on her journey post-game, Reese expressed emotional strain stemming from the pressures and challenges she faced since gaining prominence after the Tigers’ victory over the Hawkeyes in the National Championship game last year.
Angel Reese’s Legacy as an LSU Tigers Standout Despite Brief Tenure
Angel Reese joined the LSU Tigers ahead of the 2022 season and promptly propelled them to a National Championship. This season, she was honored as the SEC Player of the Year in addition to receiving three All-American nods.
Throughout the recently concluded season culminating in the Elite Eight, Reese maintained impressive averages of 18.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 1.9 steals, according to ESPN.com.
