Angel Reese's Shooting Transformation Fuels Atlanta Dream's Success

Angel Reese showcased her shooting skills at Wintrust Arena in late April, preparing for her debut with the Atlanta Dream after a trade from the Chicago Sky. Dream coach Karl Smesko closely monitored her progress, emphasizing the importance of patience in developing her jump shot.

Reese's hard work has led to impressive results, as the Dream remain undefeated when she makes a 3-pointer, boasting a 9-0 regular season record and 6-0 in the playoffs. In Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, she contributed two 3-pointers, bringing her playoff total to 8 of 17 from beyond the arc.

Despite initial struggles, Reese has adapted well, making at least one 3-pointer in five of six playoff games. Smesko noted her significant improvement throughout the season, while Reese acknowledged the challenges she faced in building her confidence and shooting skills under his guidance.
