LSU's Angel Reese Talks WNBA Draft 2024: 'I'll Make a Decision When I'm Ready'

Angel Reese is already a national champion, three-time All-American and SEC Player of the Year, and her career with LSU may not even be over despite Monday's 94-87 loss to Iowa in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA women's tournament.

"I'll make a decision when I'm ready," the junior told reporters after the loss when discussing potentially entering the 2024 WNBA draft.

If Reese does go pro, she will likely be an early pick.

Michael Voepel of ESPN projected the Tigers forward as the No. 7 overall selection in a mock draft last month and highlighted her rebounding and defensive ability in the frontcourt.

That was on full display during Monday's loss even after Reese suffered an apparent ankle injury and limped to the bench before returning. She finished with 20 rebounds, three blocks and two steals, which helped her make an impact even as she struggled with her shot at 7-of-21 from the field.

It was yet another double-double for someone who hasn't finished a game without one since January.

Ultimately, LSU couldn't contain Caitlin Clark.

The Iowa star finished with 41 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block while connecting on nine three-pointers in yet another incredible performance in a season filled with them.

Clark prevented the Tigers from winning a second straight title, but the SEC team will still be poised to make another deep run in 2024-25 even if Reese heads to the WNBA. Hailey Van Lith, Flau'jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams could all return, which would be quite the boost for one of the sport's best programs.
