LSU Basketball Star Angel Reese Declares for WNBA Draft
After banner season, Tiger forward announces departure
Reese led LSU to SEC Tournament Championship, NCAA Tournament run
LSU basketball star Angel Reese has announced that she will forgo her remaining eligibility and declare for the 2023 WNBA Draft. The announcement comes after a standout season that saw Reese lead the Tigers to the SEC Tournament championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance.
In her sophomore season with LSU, Reese averaged 23.9 points and 15.7 rebounds per game. She was named the SEC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming just the second player in conference history to earn both honors.
Reese's decision to leave LSU comes as no surprise to many. She is widely considered to be one of the top prospects in the upcoming WNBA Draft. She is expected to be selected among the top five picks.
Reese's departure is a significant loss for LSU. She was the Tigers' leading scorer, rebounder, and defender. However, her decision to pursue her professional career is understandable and should be celebrated.
Reese has been a key part of LSU's success in recent years. She helped the Tigers win 53 games in her two seasons in Baton Rouge. She also helped LSU reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019.
Reese's legacy at LSU will be remembered for her dominance on the court and her leadership both on and off the court. She is a true role model for young athletes, and she will be missed by the LSU community.
