Chicago selected Angel Reese with the seventh pick of the 2024 WNBA draft. As a rookie, she averaged 18.6 points and 12.3 rebounds for the Sky on 49.8% shooting. Her performances were impressive, and she produced one of the best rebounding seasons in the WNBA.
The LSU alumnus recorded 446 rebounds last season — the most in a year. Speaking about her rebounding ability in an interview in September 2024, Reese said:
"Defense and rebounding wins championships and I’ve won championships at every level by just doing that. So coming into the league, before I sharpen up on my offensive things, just being able to have that on my shoulder is something that I know I can always do."
Heading into her sophomore season, Reese is already relishing the thought of playing alongside top prospects who could add more quality to the team.
