Angel Reese, the former LSU Tigers women’s college basketball star, has taken a big step in her career by becoming the No. 7 pick in the WNBA Draft. Now, she is set to begin her journey in professional basketball with the Chicago Sky.

Now that she will be playing with the Chicago Sky, Angel has decided to leave this nickname behind and adopt a new one, marking a new chapter in her athletic life.
