Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream may have fallen one game short of a WNBA championship, but Angel's third season was a statement. Zena is joined by senior writer Brian Hamilton to break down Angel’s statement third season, how she helped transform the Dream into championship contenders, and what’s next for one of the league’s brightest young stars. From her growth under head coach Karl Smesko to the work she's putting into rebuilding her jump shot, they dig into how far Angel has come, where she can still take her game, and what it will take for Atlanta to make another run at a title.
To wrap things up, Zena and Brian discuss Unrivaled gearing up for Season 3 with a roster packed with exciting new talent, then look ahead to the must-see women’s college basketball matchups coming up this weekend.
