Paige Bueckers and her UConn teammate Azzi Fudd discussed Angel Reese's hooping prowess
The UConn Huskies stars are two players who are ranked as the top five hoppers in the 2025 WNBA draft. As the two prepare to play another season of college basketball, they both discussed the basketball skills of the former LSU star and current Chicago Sky rookie, Angel Reese.
"In AAU, we played against [Reese]," Azzi said (per Sports Illustrated). "Even back then, she was a rebounding machine. Like always crashing the boards, she has always been tall and long. It's really cool... to see her progress her game and play and kind of have the role she has now in women's basketball."
Paige Bueckers added:
"She's just ultra-competitive. You can tell when you're her teammate, she just instills this confidence within you, and makes you believe in yourself even more than you already do. She's definitely the type of player you would love to have on your team."
While Angel Reese shows her talents on the Sky's roster, many fans expect Paige Bueckers, who is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick as per ESPN's mock draft, to land with the Golden State Valkyrie because of coincidences and speculations.
