The uncertainty around Reese’s decision has added interest to the ongoing discussion about her future. On the one hand, Reese has achieved almost everything at the collegiate level. She has also won SEC Player of the Year and SEC Freshman of the Year.

In the 2023-24 season so far, Reese has been dominating the court from both ends for the LSU Tigers. She averages 19.1 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. She also has a standout 49.9 field-goal percentage, 12.5% 3-point field-goal percentage, and 73.8% free throw percentage.
Should Angel Reese go for the WNBA Draft 2024?
Reese has valid reasons to consider her options carefully in the WNBA Draft 2024. Some analysts suggest that Reese could benefit from another year at LSU Tigers to further develop her offensive skill set. She has room for growth in areas like post moves and perimeter shooting.
However, Reese could very well go to any team because of her defensive and rebounding ability. Liberty, in particular, could benefit from Reese’s defensive abilities. She can easily add depth behind Stewart and Jones and meanwhile, develop her offensive side on the court.
