Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson, a prominent figure in the WNBA with two MVP awards and two championships has discussed about the future of Angel Reese in the WNBA.
Wilson pointed out at Reese’s exceptional rebounding skills as a key factor in her successful transition to the professional level.
Wilson hailed Reese’s virtues
Reese, who secured the 2023 NCAA championship with LSU after transferring from Maryland, led the SEC in both scoring (23 points per game) and rebounding (15.4).
She also achieved 34 double-doubles last season, setting an NCAA record. In the current season, she is maintaining impressive averages of 19.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in eight games.
“I think it’s going to transfer pretty fair out because I feel like she has a niche to her,” Wilson told Showtime Basketball’s weekly podcast series “All the Smoke”.
“I’ve seen her rebound so much that I feel like that’s going to be her key when she gets to the league. Now, if she keeps that up, I feel like that’s going to be huge, but I think that’s what’s going to be the separating factor for her.
“Obviously, she has got a couple of years to grow just to let it translate over and it’s gonna be tough and hard because our league is so tough.
“I can’t express that to so many people. We have some dogs at every position, and it’s hard coming in being a four and a five; it really is. I think when I see her play, I’m like, ‘All right, she got a little something to her and can then translate that over to the pros.'”
