Angel Reese has been in excellent form during her brief WNBA career. She has proven that the physical, paint-centric playing style that she utilized at LSU will translate into success at the professional level. Not to mention the heart and energy that she brings to the court having a positive effect on her teammates.
But there are two clear criticisms about Reese’s game at the moment: her fouling habit, and her free throw shooting. Reese only make 2 out of her 8 free throws attempts during her WNBA regular season debut. Yet, Reese’s performance at the free throw line improved during the Sky’s win over the Dallas Wings on Saturday.
In that game, she made 5 of 7 free throws. Afterwards, Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon explained that the improvement was necessary. “We work too much, too long on free throws to step up there and shoot the way that we did the first game,” she said. “But it happens. Those things happen. So what do you do to bounce back from it? You work at it again, you go right back to the drawing board… and they did.” Weatherspoon seems pleased about the work Reese did between games.
