A’ja and Angel’s origin story started back when Angel was at Maryland. The assistant coach (A’ja’s old teammate) asked A’ja to speak to Angel because she reminded her so much of A’ja. UGH MY HEART 🥹🤍
Angel Reese, today, on why she chose Atlanta:
“I was just seeing how the player development was for (Karl Smesko) and how he developed Naz (Hillmon) in one year and how I wanted that … l wanna win a WNBA championship no matter what it looks like for me.”

Happy Karl Smesko spoke on this. This is Angel’s 3rd year in the league, 3rd head coach, and 3rd system that she’s learning. Acting as if she won’t have a period of adjustments, growing pains, and learning is just pure craziness lol.
