Though there have been some learning curves, [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] has impressed since making the jump to the WNBA.
She ranks at or near the top of the rookie leaderboard in several stats, and she’s averaging nearly a double-double with 12.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game through 11 appearances.
Reese said that her time at LSU with coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] prepared her to make that leap to the professional level.
“I think my transition has been great,” Reese said. “It hasn’t been a super big, huge surprise because Kim Mulkey kind of prepared me for this moment. At LSU, our practice was like four hours. We were ready, we were working. I thought training was going to be harder. I think I was really prepared. I didn’t have any WNBA surprises yet.”
Angel Reese credits practicing 4 hours a day at LSU for helping her transition into the WNBA:
