Angel Reese's early success has flown under the radar. The former LSU star is close to averaging a double-double in the WNBA, and she has her former coach to thank.
Caitlin Clark is the talk of the WNBA right now, which has led to Angel Reese's early success flying under the radar. Reese, the former LSU star, was the seventh overall selection in April's draft to the Chicago Sky, who also used the third pick on South Carolina star Kamilla Cardoso. Reese was a walking double-double in college, averaging 18.6 points and 12.3 rebounds in her NCAA career, and she is almost that as a pro.
In 10 WNBA games, she is averaging 11.6 points and 9.6 boards per contest. She has had four double-doubles this season and has just one game in which she failed to reach double-digit figures in both stats. It is a solid start for Reese, who gave credit to LSU coach Kim Mulkey for it. 'Kim Mulkey kind of prepared me for this moment,' Reese told CBS Sports. 'At LSU, our practice was like four hours. We were ready, we were working. I thought training was going to be harder.
The Sky lost to Clark's Fever, 71-70, on June 1. They will face off on June 16 and 23. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
