Julian Reese certainly impressed in his rookie season, making an immediate case for a permanent contract after a move to the NBA with the Washington Wizards. The WNBA star is also excited for her new team.

Angel Reese Excited For Fresh Start At Atlanta Dream

Looking for a fresh start in the WNBA, the former LSU star maintained high expectations from the side. In recent interviews, she spoke about her Chicago Sky period and also about her new team.

Reese said, “’Transferring from Maryland and going to LSU and winning a championship, it feels like deja vu right now. And I get chills right now because being a part of Chicago my first two years and going to Atlanta, I just feel that urge right now that I’m going to win again.’”

“’It’s not easy to go be by yourself in the dark and those lonely nights and those long nights thinking by yourself. Social media has it out there to be one way. But at the end of the day, you gotta sit with yourself and tell yourself what you want in life and continue to put yourself in spaces and rooms [that] feel super uncomfortable.’” The 2024 rookie added.

It’s exciting to watch how the player would fare with her new team that has multiple All-Stars on the roster.
