The senior forward had an up-and-down start to her season as she missed four and a half games due to unspecified reasons. Despite the suspension, Reese's play was strong enough to warrant selection as the SEC Player of the Year.

How has Angel Reese performed in her college career?

Angel Reese initially joined the Maryland Terrapins as a five-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. She made just 15 appearances as a true freshman after suffering an injury and averaged 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.3 blocks in just 15.2 minutes per game while shooting 46.7% from the field and 67.1% from the free-throw line.

Despite playing just 25.8 mpg the following season, Reese had a breakout season, averaging 17.8 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.7 spg and 1.1 bpg while shooting 50.0% from the field and 68.3% from the free-throw line. She earned third-team All-American honors.

Reese joined the LSU Tigers via the transfer portal following the season and made an immediate impact. The junior forward averaged 23.0 ppg, 15.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1.8 spg and 1.6 bpg while shooting 52.5% from the field and 70.8% from the free-throw line. She was named a unanimous first-team All-American and led the Tigers to a national title, winning NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors.

While Reese has the option to return for a fifth season due to the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she is expected to declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft.
