WNBA Draft Preview: Will Angel Reese Declare?
Going into the NCAA Women's Tournament, the question is whether or not Angel Reese will stay another year at LSU, or forgo a career in the WNBA.
Reese has yet to declare for the WNBA Draft outright, but has teased it on numerous occasions.
Financially, Reese has said that she isn't letting money play a role in her decision to go to the WNBA.
"The deals are going to follow me if I leave or stay," said Angel Reese.
"I've built that relationship with a lot of these brands. I don't just have brands that are in college, I have brands that are long-term deals that are just past college and I think that's the difference," she added.
Reese ranks No.8 amongst all college athletes with a valuation of $1.8 million, according to the latest NIL evaluations from On3.com.

Reese has also shown her ability to knock down 3pt shots, but not as consistently compared to most players in the WNBA. Angel Reese really needs to improve as a shooter if she wants to thrive at the next level.
