It's not necessarily a personal thing when veterans go against rookies.

It's just playing good basketball if you think if there's going to be a player most likely to be rattled, right?

It would be a rookie.

But this is my point about Angel Reese, which is that she does not let herself get rattled, which in and of itself is a veteran

trait. What she's doing is she's kind of doing stuff that like Alyssa Thomas, for example example has been doing very well for years.

She's not getting rattled, she's drawing foul, she's getting herself into jump ball situations,

gets her way to the free throw line, and that's what I mean about team impact all of the little things. I think that's what people are liking from Angel Breeze.

Hello everybody and welcome to this week's edition of the late sub I am your

host Claire Watkins it is Tuesday May 28th I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday

weekend in the US and we have a lot to talk about another really great week of WMBA action.

We've got NWSL bellwether teams rising and falling as we move closer to the

Olympic period. We've got a little bit of US women's national team to talk about.

We've got a lot going on in the world of women's sports, so let's dig it.

Okay, first off this week, let's talk WNBA. Another really exciting week of action. I've been enjoying this season a lot so far.

I think it's been a really nice mix of sort of players taking a step forward from year to year.

We're seeing the rookie class make a big impact already. We're seeing

some of these known stars keep their level up. I do always think that say this in

soccer. I think it's true for basketball too. It's an Olympic year so I think

everyone has big, big goals.

I've just really been enjoying things.

I think that sometimes the dub gets in danger of being a little bit repetitive with only being a 12-team league,

and we have not hit that point yet, and I think we're not going to hit that point for some time.
