‘Whatever’: Angel Reese reacts to Chicago Sky changing her position to help teammates

New Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh is shaking things up for Angel Reese and the rest of the roster in 2025. The Sky are shifting their offense from a unit that was predominantly centered around Chennedy Carter, currently a free agent with less than a week remaining before the start of the regular season.

The Sky added Courtney Vandersloot, Kia Nurse, and Ariel Atkins in hopes that their three-point shooting can open up spacing for Reese. Chicago had Reese playing point forward during their final preseason contest on Saturday against the Minnesota Lynx.

Angel Reese wants to do “whatever” it takes to win

Per Grant Afseth of Hardwood Heroics, Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said the team wants to try a new position so she can creatively help her new teammates make plays.

Reese said that she would do “whatever” it takes to help the Sky win.

“I’ve always been a player for the team,” Reese said. “Every team I’ve been on, I’ve done what was needed to win. I don’t care about anything else. I’m doing whatever I need for the team.”

Reese struggled with shooting in the first half of Saturday night’s game, going 0-for-3 shooting, but added three points at the free-throw line. She finished with 10 points on 2-of-8 shooting and missed her only three-point attempt. She added three rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes on the court in Chicago’s 92-87 loss to Minnesota at Target Center.

Reese and the Sky’s offense is a work in progress right now. They play their regular season opener against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Saturday at 2 p.m. CST on ABC.

The Chicago Sky hope Reese is comfortable in her new role

Reese believes she’s developing better under Marsh in her second year in Chicago. She’s learning not to hesitate and wants to confidently take what the defense gives her.

“I’m just trying to be consistent and confident,” Reese said. “Not trying to do anything I’m not capable of, but also not hesitating like I did sometimes last year. Just taking what’s there.”

Reese will have a big platform on national television to prove to the Sky how far she’s come since her rookie season.
