“Of course, I like to do everything big,” Reese told Vogue.

“I didn’t want anything to be basic.”

“I’ve done everything I wanted to in college. I’ve won a national championship, I’ve gotten [Southeastern Conference] Player of the Year, I’ve been an All-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro – and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I’m ready.”

Expected to thrive in the WNBA

Reese is poised to make a significant impact in the WNBA, with front office executives eagerly awaiting her debut.

“She’s just deadly in the paint,” a WNBA general manager told ESPN.

“She’s also very effective even when she’s got a bigger player on her because she can go around them because of her athleticism and her quickness. She doesn’t mind getting hit. She can get hit and finish with two people hanging on her.”

Throughout her time at LSU, she recorded impressive stats, leading the Tigers to a National Championship and the Elite Eight.
