Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft

[Jplaya2023]

Imagine going pro and taking a paycut. Thats craaaaaazy

 

[Phantum]

Why do people act like she can’t get developed in the pros? She has a trait that she’s elite in that will undoubtedly transfer in her rebounding

It's not like the NBA. If she isn't ready to contribute she might not even make the team no matter how high she's drafted.

I want Angel to develop mid-range jumper

So you come into a thread about a women’s basketball player and are surprised the posters in the thread watch women’s basketball

Only reason I'm lettin this slide is because you are mad pretty

Thatdozen

Good luck to her

With the media and her unsupportive and psychopathic coach, this last year must have been a grind.

 

[Blessings]

Bless and wish her luck, you have to be on your A game as soon as you step foot in the League. The WNBA cutting first round picks before the season starts, she got to add something to her game.

If she gets better in the WNBA, it won't be cuz the team develops her. That's not how WNBA teams operate. They looking for a damn near finished product and they also barely practice. She'll have to conduct her own private workouts. I don't think even assistant coaches bother to rebound for or help a player with footwork. It prob happens, but it's far from the norm.

Tell'em people who never watched the WNBA are not familiar with how the W operates when it comes to rookies and development

These aren’t typical rookies. These are women with the potential to bring millions of eyes and millions of dollars. There will be changes in how they develop and treat rookies.

They can’t afford to mess up how they usher in Caitlin and Angel with Paige and JuJu coming right behind them.

Yeah they on that "Fukk your developement trick" shyt

 

[RedBull]

I think it’s more about her needing to leave LSU, than its wanting to declare for the draft. That culture and the coach is toxic. She’ll be fine. Stop hating.

She leaving LSU, more declaring for the draft. That culture and the coach is toxic. She’ll be fine. Stop hating.

Wtf are you talking about

 

[Trojan 24]

Y'all will eventually realize that Cameron Brink is the B-Side to Caitlin this draft. Better prospect, better player and probably the player they'd like to market

 

[Kliq_Souf]

Imagine going pro and taking a paycut. Thats craaaaaazy

So all her endorsements will just drop as soon as she is drafted?

You're speaking as if the WNBA operates on what's in the best interest of the players and revenue....when they haven't operated that way

you would think by now with the biggest names in women's college basketball forgoing the extra year(sans Paige, who has only played 2.5 season) ya'll would get it through your skulls that this isn't the case. what's not getting through that their endorsement deals aren't going nowhere?

Can’t wait for the season to start


Last two season been steps in the right direction for the league and it’s trending up

Angel gonna have to get better soon

She only gonna get two years to show something and that extra year is because she is Angel Reese

It’s only so many teams so many slots

Same here...looking forward to a Las Vegas Aces 3 peat...the Liberty are looking for some get back.. should be a fun year with the Caitlin and Angel coming in

Angel Reese will better then alot of people think at the next level...she has that competitive fire you don't see in many players.. her footwork and passing are really good.. great rebounder...it's up to her to put in the work to become consistent on the offensive end...I hope a good team drafts her like Dallas or Washington
