Angel Reese, a star at LSU, has declared for the 2024 WNBA.
Angel Reese, a talented forward for LSU, declared for the WNBA draft on Wednesday. Regarding her choice, Reese stated, “I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” in an interview published by Vogue. “I’ve been an All-American, won a national championship, and won Player of the Year in the Southeastern Conference.” My ultimate objective is to become a professional basketball player and one of the best players of all time. I think I’m prepared.
Two days after the Tigers’ Monday NCAA Tournament Elite Eight loss to Iowa, Reese made her announcement. At an average of 12.3 million viewers, the game between Reese and Iowa standout Caitlin Clark was the most watched women’s collegiate basketball match in history. April 15 is when the WNBA draft will take place. In mock drafts, Reese is regarded as a top-10 pick.
Reese is one of the most well-known names in women’s basketball when she enters the WNBA draft. She gained enormous notoriety last season while driving the Tigers to their first-ever national championship. In the championship game, the Tigers defeated Clark and the Hawkeyes 102-85, and Reese was voted the MVP of the match. Despite injuring her ankle in the second quarter and fouling out against the Hawkeyes on Monday, Reese finished with 17 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and two steals. Reese tied the tournament record with his tenth straight double-double in the NCAA tournament.
In 33 games this season, the 6-foot-3 Reese averaged 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds. She was a unanimous first-team All-American her previous season and was voted SEC Player of the Year last month.
