Angel Reese Gets Brutally Honest About WNBA Rule She ‘Didn’t Know’

On Monday, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky took part in day two of WNBA Training Camp.

Reese, the No. 7 overall pick in this April’s draft, is officially taking the next step in her basketball career following the productive, title-winning stint she had with LSU.

Apparently, though, there’s still a few wrinkles she may need to iron out at the next level. Reese suggested after day one of camp on Sunday that she’s still learning the WNBA’s three-seconds rule.

“One thing I do need to adjust to is the three-second call,” Reese said, via the Chicago State of Mind Sports YouTube channel. “I didn’t know about that.

“I didn’t have much knowledge on, like, you can’t do defensive three-seconds. Being able to learn that early has been good…”

Reese went on to admit that her first day of training camp “wasn’t as bad” as she thought it’d be. She also took the time to praise her new teammates and coaches in the process.

“I love just being here, they embrace me so much,” Reese said. “They don’t treat me like a rookie.”

Reese and the Sky will take the next few days to continue preparing for Friday’s preseason opener against Minnesota.

Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET.
