Angel Reese shares about her practise after WNBA Draft
WNBA fans got their first glimpse of Angel Reese in Chicago Sky colors as the team kicked off their 2024 training camp on Sunday.
After wrapping up her first day, she took to X to share her excitement:
“Great first day of training camp! I love it here!”
“Actually, I wasn’t as bad as I thought I was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be crazy,” Reese told reporters after practice.
During a media discussion, Reese also confessed that she was not familiar with the three-second rule. As per the WNBA rule book, defenders can’t stand in the paint area for more than 3 seconds if they’re not actively guarding someone closely.
The Baltimore native was honest about it:
“One thing I do need to adjust to is the 3-second call. I didn’t know about that,” she said. “I didn’t have much knowledge on defensive three seconds, so just being able to learn that.”
Thankfully, Reese feels embraced and supported by her fellow Sky players.
“They embrace me so much, they don’t treat me like a rookie, so I feel at home,” she shared.
Reese certainly has come a long way from where she started and this positive environment would be a huge help as she will be aiming to work her way to the top.
