Can Angel Reese Dunk? Exploring the LSU Star's Aerial Prowess

Angel Reese has made a name for herself since helping the LSU Lady Tigers win their first-ever national women's basketball championship last year.

Her superb leadership and on-court skills have helped her gain a lot of endorsements, with her NIL value reaching $1.8 million, as per On3.com figures.

Reese is 6-foot-3 and is tall among women's basketball players around the NCAA. The Bayou Barbie is tied for the second-tallest player on the roster, along with Amani Bartlett. However, they are three inches shorter than Aaliyah Del Rosario, who is LSU's tallest women's basketball player on this season's roster at 6-foot-6.

Since starting her college basketball career in Maryland, Reese has wowed fans with her ability to sky-high for rebounds and jump for a perfectly timed block. She also uses her lengthy wingspan to score as many points as she can.

But fans wonder, can Angel Reese dunk the ball? The answer is no. Although she is tall enough and has the reach and jumping ability to crash the boards, Reese has never gone for a monstrous dunk.

Instead, she would use her basketball IQ to create space and her longer reach to protect the ball when she attempts to score.

Whether she decides to stay for another year with LSU or sign up for the WNBA Draft in the coming days, Angel Reese already has a place in LSU women's basketball lore.
