Angel Reese is bringing her trademark energy and relentless rebounding to a new city, and she couldn't be more excited. The former LSU star and Chicago Sky forward, now with the Atlanta Dream, is calling her recent trade a "dream come true" in the most literal sense.

Speaking ahead of her third WNBA training camp, the 23-year-old phenom opened up about the fresh start. "It’s literally a dream come true," Reese told Atlanta News First. "I’m really grateful to be part of an organization that, one, really cares about their players as you can tell. I’m soaking it all up. I know the people will come out and support us. The culture here is phenomenal."

The blockbuster trade in early April 2026 sent Reese to Atlanta, where she'll join a formidable core including Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, and Brionna Jones. This move follows a standout sophomore season where she averaged an impressive 14.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game, establishing herself as one of the league's premier frontcourt forces.

While expressing gratitude for her formative years in Chicago, Reese made it clear she was seeking a new challenge. "I enjoyed being able to grow within my first two years, but I wanted more," she explained. "I love to win, I love to compete and I wanted to be surrounded by people that can make me better."

Despite her early success, Reese believes her best basketball is still ahead. "I am not satisfied with what I am as a player," she stated, emphasizing her desire to evolve alongside Atlanta's veteran talent. Her focus remains crystal clear: "I can help them in different ways to help them win, and that’s all I ever wanted."

For fans and the Dream organization, Reese's arrival signals a major commitment to contention. Her combination of proven production, championship pedigree from college, and a hungry, team-first mentality is the perfect fuel for Atlanta's ascent in the competitive WNBA landscape.
