Connecticut Sun<\/a>, but the team is just 3-15 since the All-Star break. <\/p>\nReese said she wants to be open-minded but might have to leave the team if things don’t change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very vocal about what we need and what I want,\u201d she told the paper. \u201cI\u2019d like to be here for my career, but if things don\u2019t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what\u2019s best for me. But while I am here, I\u2019m going to try to stay open-minded about what I have here and maximize that as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old forward also called out teammates by name and said the team needs to find upgrades.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not settling for the same (expletive) we did this year,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to get good players. We have to get great players. That\u2019s a non-negotiable for me. I\u2019m willing and wanting to play with the best. And however I can help to get the best here, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do this offseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it\u2019s going to be very, very important this offseason to make sure we attract the best of the best because we can\u2019t settle for what we have this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
One such player was Courtney Vandersloot, a two-time WNBA champion, five-time All-Star, and seven-time assist leader in the WNBA. <\/p>\n
Reese questioned if the 36-year-old could return to form after an ACL injury given the “age she’s at.”<\/p>\n
“We need someone probably a little younger with some experience, somebody who\u2019s been playing the game and is willing to compete for a championship and has done it before,” she added.<\/p>\n
Rachel Banham or Hailey Van Lith were additionally named as teammates she believes can’t lead a playoff team.<\/p>\n
The No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Reese also said she wants head coach Tyler Marsh to coach players harder. <\/p>\n
Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports reported, citing league sources, that the team has seen her comments and her unhappy with the direct attacks. A team meeting is planned in which players will address Reese directly.<\/p>\n
Reese has one more guaranteed year left on her WNBA rookie contract before the Sky holds a team option in 2027.<\/p>\n
