‘This Is the Thing That Holds Her Back’ — Sophie Cunningham, NBA Trainer Drew Hanlen Highlight the Key to Angel Reese Taking ‘the Next Step’

WNBA star Angel Reese is being encouraged to refine her finishing skills near the basket to elevate her offensive impact. During a recent podcast appearance, trainer Drew Hanlen and player Sophie Cunningham noted that while Reese has made strides in her perimeter and free-throw shooting, her inconsistency with layups remains a primary hurdle.

Hanlen specifically pointed out that her tendency to argue with referees after missed attempts often hinders her defensive transition. Although Reese demonstrated her potential with strong double-doubles in the early stages of the playoff series against the Golden State Valkyries, her field-goal percentage dipped significantly during the final four games of that matchup.
