re: Will Angel Reeses' lack of vertical jump hurt her in WNBA?

she doesn't need a crazy vertical if she develops her finishing ability around the rim, her playmaking, and her faceup game

i recall one play from the game where she lazily dribbles the ball up the court (and i have an issue with her posture when she dribbes, it's not tight or secure like a guard's would be) and threw a sloppy entry pass that was easily intercepted

the truth is her game is heavily based on physicality. which works in the college game as there aren't many post players that are as tall and/or as physical as she is. but look what happens when she plays a team like south carolina. she has had underwhelming performances each game and boston gave her massive fits. even against iowa when we won the natty, she had less of an impact on the win during that game because monika czinano could match her size and physicality.

this is all from a positive place- i want angel to make improvements in her game so she can succeed in the WNBA. a lot of posters are box score watchers who won't acknowledge holes in her game because she's the "double double queen" and won xyz award

think the pay cut from NIL to WNBA will hurt her the most.

Do you think she’s just gonna stop getting endorsements and sponsors once she leaves lsu?
