Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft

[tremonthustler1]

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.

Angel IS a typical rookie though

Angel IS a typical rookie though

She’s got 4 million followers and made a few million dollars the past few years, more than anyone else in the WNBA

In terms of her game, she needs a lot of work but in terms of profile she’s anything but typical

That popularity will give her an extra year

Best bet for her is to end up in dc or atlanta

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I wish her well but I don't know how her game will translate. I do think she'll get some big sponsorship deals soon and then we'll see...

 

[TM101]

Idk why she did this unless the atmosphere in LSU was that toxic and she needed to get away

 

[RoCKetSity256]

She’s going to make less in the wnba than she would with the nil. So if it ain’t about the money what’s making her get the hell out of LSU?

 

[boskey]

Even though that's true, it will always feel like a demotion. shytty practice facilities and flying commercial.

This is probably the reality for all non-NFL or NBA bound college athletes that don't quit after college. Swimmers, Lacrosse, Baseball players etc all have it better at a big college than they do training for their little pro-leagues or for international competition

She probably wanna start her career. Those endorsements and that money isnt gonna just come to a halt cause she is out of college

 

[Controversy]

a'ja wilson will drop 50 on her

Who have you seen cook Angel?

If anything will translate, her motor will

She's proven she has the ability to switch on guards defensively...she's active defensively to boot

She simply needs to develop a mid-range J and a turn around jumper

If anything, playing PF again should help her too

Dawns girls have been putting her in a blender for 2 years

Dawns girls have been putting her in a blender for 2 years

Dawn's girls aren't dropping 40 or 50 on her...they just make life difficult for her on the offensive end

I like Angel to have a better pro career than any current player on the SC roster

But she can still make endorsement money while in college. The only money that changes is nil vs wnba salary. So something got her like fukk this LSU shyt

 

[NZA]

if she improves her basketball IQ she can have a draymond or maybe pat bev-like career. either way, college wasnt going to get any better for her. LSU has gone as far as they are going to go for the next few years - too many good teams with young stars who are now a year wiser.

It will if she washes out of the league.

 

[Youngdev]

It will if she washes out of the league.

That's not specific to her though. That's same goes for every player entering the draft

If she is serviceable those endorsements continue
