Nah she played ball all her life , she def cares about going professional and being a good player.

At the end of the day the top wnba players getting paid over 200k plus endorsements for 4 months of work out the year, she would be fool to not care about that

Where else is she gonna make that after college?

 

[MJ Truth]

I'd never leave college if I was these girls. Milk that NIL money for all its worth

That’s because you a 2nd childhood ass nikka.

Reese gotta develop some post moves and a jumper, alot of the shyt in her game not gonna fly at the next level with grown women. Also doesn't help that the coach she plays for isn't necessarily known for preparing her players the best for the next level.

Grown women? The women aint getting that much bigger in the wnba

Yea because the women aren't stronger and the game isn't more physical than college....Nobody is saying Reese is trash, we're just pointing out the flaws she has in her game that has her projected as 7 and not top 2 like some folks who don't watch the women's game would believe. Women's game ain't no different than the men's game, there are players who put up numbers in college that might not necessarily translate to the pros.

She has a knack for anticipating where the ball is going go after a missed shot and a high motor but she frequently knock off balance during international play this past summer. Her offensive game consists of just a scoop shot layup and the power forwards she will be going up against that are way more versatiled offensively (EDD, Stewart, Wilson) or have high motors just like her (Nneka, Natasha Howard, Alyssa Thomas, Nalyssa Smith).

 

[RedBull]

23 and 15, with Finals MVP as a sophomore. And dudes are doubting her?


Hot take media vibes. Go ‘head and take those 6 players before her. Won’t matter anyway.

Reese got that dawg in her she’s going to be a beast in the L

 

[CarltonJunior]

idk what these dudes talkin about she ya needs a bit of work but shes a bucket in the paint along with being an elite rebounder already, it kinda rubs me the wrong way how someone whos injured and aint done much of shyt at the college level is projected to go so high when the sista who put in work is touted as a "project"

This is nothing new in basketball, if you are undersized and dominating off of athletic gifts, moving to a league where everyone becomes more athletic, taller and bigger, people aren't going to believe you'll be able to have the same impact at the next level.

Plenty of guys dominate college or HS in men's ball and become just another guy at the NBA level

difference is those undersized men can jump high, got killer handles, shifty etc. She doesn't have all that. She's gonna have to develop that in order to stay around, and I'm a Reese fan

Yup
Just google bust in any sport, mostly all of those dudes dominated at the college level but flopped professionally

WNBA is weird.
Bree Beal was drafted and waived a month later last year.
Like why even waste a pick???

Salary cap and they don’t have enough roster spots to go around.
