Lisa Leslie Mentors Angel Reese Ahead of 2024 WNBA Season

Angel Reese, a rising star for the Chicago Sky, has received mentorship from WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who has offered candid advice on how to improve her layup shooting, a crucial area for her development. Despite a strong rookie season where she averaged 13.6 points and led the league with 13.1 rebounds per game, Reese's shooting efficiency on layups was notably low at 42%. Leslie praised Reese's willingness to learn and highlighted her improvements in ball handling and defensive play. In addition to Leslie's guidance, fellow player Brittney Sykes has also praised Reese's on-court talents, emphasizing her competitive spirit and growth. Reese is currently playing alongside Sykes in the Unrivaled League, enjoying a three-game winning streak with her team, the Rose basketball club. As Reese prepares for her second WNBA season, her collaboration with Leslie is expected to enhance her skills further.
