“If She Could Consistently Do That”: Flau’jae Johnson Makes Her Opinion Around The Evolution of Angel Reese Very Clear

Angel Reese’s dominance in the paint has solidified her status as the WNBA’s Defensive Player of the Year, where she averages a league-leading 12.1 rebounds per game and anchors the Atlanta Dream’s defense with relentless intensity. However, WNBA star Flau’jae Johnson has pointed to an underdiscussed facet of Reese’s game that could elevate her even further: her emerging three-point shooting.

During a recent playoff series, Reese hit a clutch perimeter shot after Jonquel Jones left her unguarded, a moment Johnson highlighted as a potential game-changer. If Reese can consistently extend her offensive range, opposing teams may struggle to leave her unguarded, opening up driving lanes for teammates like Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard.

The insight comes as Reese reflects on her own performance in the Finals, where a scoreless second half—despite leading for 79% of Game 1—contributed to Atlanta’s loss, underscoring the need for offensive versatility beyond her rim-dominating play.
