Reese, known for her dominant performances as a double-double powerhouse at LSU, understands the challenges of transitioning to the professional level. However, she remains ambitious and determined. “I’m trying to do whatever it takes to win and my impact coming in as a rookie, being able to learn and grow and be a sponge,” Reese stated. “But also I want to dominate. I’m super competitive, so I want this team to go amazing places. I came to Chicago to leave an impact.”
