Angel Reese talkss how she got to be an ROTY contender
Sneaker Reporter had a quick conversation with Angel Reese prior to an important game against the Minnesota Lynx. Reese gave a humble response when questioned about her influence on the WNBA and the Rookie of the Year discussion. Reese said,
“I mean, I was picked seventh. I am not supposed to be in the Rookie of the Year conversation,” “But I am because of how hard I work-not just offensively, but also on defense and especially rebounding. Rebounding is something that you have to want to do. It’s not something that’s easy. And I don’t have anything in my life that’s been easy for me. So, I really enjoy doing it.”
