On the Good Follow podcast released Wednesday, she offered a direct assessment of Reese's showing early in the ongoing WNBA campaign, highlighting how she could do far better.

Gold-Onwude said:

"Let's address Angel... uh..first of all, we know Angel Reese, she works hard, and she's crashing that glass. It's not for lack of effort; she's averaging nine points and about 14 rebounds per game, but again, the efficiency - she's shooting even lower than she was last season, and we wanted to see improvement."
