Following an April 6 trade, Angel Reese has moved on to the Atlanta Dream, sparking the question: how will she fit with the roster?
The Dream opened WNBA free agency with a splash trade for the Chicago Sky forward as it looks to improve on a 30-14 regular-season record and a playoff appearance in 2025. Reese joins a team that seeks to compete for a championship now.
What will the Dream starting lineup look like with Reese in it? How does she fit in head coach Karl Smesko's system? Will Reese have an immediate impact in Atlanta?
Here's USA TODAY's analysis of Reese's fit within the Atlanta Dream roster.
Canada, Gray and Jones are all unrestricted free agents, and Howard is a restricted free agent. However, the Dream are likely to bring all of the aforementioned players back to keep a consistent core as Atlanta continues its push to bring a championship home. Reese will likely replace restricted free agent and Sixth Player of the Year Naz Hillmon in the starting lineup.
