Angel Reese

The 6-foot-3 forward Angel Reese has made a seamless transition from NCAA basketball to the WNBA, breaking several rookie records. In her first season, Reese made it to the WNBA All-Star team alongside her college rival Caitlin Clark, making it the first occasion since 2014 that two rookies have made the All-Star team.

The Chicago Sky forward, Reese has dominated the rebounding glass on both offense and defense, leading the league in rebounds in her rookie year. She was also the main catalyst for Sky’s win against the Fever, staging a 15-point comeback victory.

As the season progresses and the stakes get higher, the Chicago Sky would be counting on Angel Reese to take them to the playoffs. Her partnership with Chennedy Carter and Kamilla Cardoso would be worth keeping an eye on.
