“Whole lotta buckets at the Empire State Building,” she wrote in her Instagram story.
While Clark seems to be the unanimous choice for the first overall pick, there is no dearth of talent in this year's class. A lot of big names are in consideration and the lot is thought to be the one that would take the women's league to new heights. While it is a big day for all of them, the picture shared by Reese showed a lot of camaraderie and respect between the group.
Reese has been in New York for a few days now for preparation before the draft. She was also seen working a shift at Raising Cane’s as a part of her NIL collaboration with the fast food chain.
Angel Reese has no regrets ahead of the 2024 WNBA Draft
Days ahead of the draft, Angel Reese declared that she had no regrets about her achievements at the college level. The LSU star shared an Instagram story that showed her talking about everything that she has gained so far with the Lady Tigers. She said that while the decision to leave LSU for the WNBA was a difficult one, she expressed full trust in the next chapter of her life.
“I'm leaving college with everything I ever wanted: a degree, a national championship and this platform I never could have imagined. This was a difficult decision. But I trust the next chapter. Because I know the author. Bayou Barbie out".
The point guard led the Tigers to a national title last year. The team came close again this season but fell short to Caitlin Clark’s Iowa in the Elite Eight. Now it will be interesting to see the rivalry grow at the professional level.
