LSU draft prospect Aneesah Morrow credits Angel Reese, Kim Mulkey for elevating her game

Aneesah Morrow is regarded as a top-10 pick in this year's WNBA draft. She began her collegiate career at DePaul in 2021 before transferring to LSU in 2023, where she played for two more seasons.

In her first season with the Tigers, Morrow played alongside Angel Reese, who went pro last year. In an interview with "Ballislife" on Sunday, Morrow credited Reese for helping her navigate the high expectations that came with the LSU shirt.

“Angel helped me a lot at LSU, especially at boards,” Morrow said. “It’ll be interesting playing against her and seeing how we’ve changed. Being with Angel every day at practice and seeing the media impact and how she handled it, I really learned a lot from her.”

Morrow also praised LSU coach Kim Mulkey for giving her the confidence to perform on the big stage while helping her hone her skills.

“Coach Kim tried to instill as much confidence in me as she could,” Morrow said. “She always told me to be who I am, don’t change for anybody, and keep growing my game.”

After playing four years of college basketball, it will be interesting to see where Morrow lands in the WNBA.
