Caitlin Clark will be pleased with Angel Reese’s glowing assessment of her potential new Indiana Fever team-mate in Aneesah Morrow.
Morrow – who currently plays for LSU – became Reese’s Tigers team-mate a month after the Chicago Sky star led her team to the NCAA title over Clark’s Iowa in a thrilling 102-85 clash.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form this season with LSU boasting an unbeaten record of 6-0 so far as she’s averaging 18PPG and 13RPG.
Ahead of the 2025 WNBA Draft next April, the Fever hold the number eight pick, with Michael Voepel of ESPN predicting the franchise to draft Morrow. The forward has long drawn comparisons to Reese as the reporter laid down the reasons behind her potentially joining forces with Clark and how the pair could connect on the court.
“Morrow has been an exceptional scorer and rebounder in her college career, which started at DePaul and will finish at LSU,” he wrote. “But there is concern about her size and what her most effective position will be in the WNBA. Plus, she has shot 24.3% from 3-point range in college.
“Still, there is a lot of potential for Morrow as a player who could run the floor well and be another target for Caitlin Clark’s passes.” Reese has been one of Morrow’s biggest champions and urged the public to acknowledge her talent last year.

“Me and Nees work hard every single day. I can’t do my job without Aneesah,” Reese said during her last season with LSU. “So understanding like, everybody gives me the praise, but you’ve got to give Aneesah the praise for the things that she does, too.
“She does a lot of great things that I don’t do. So, I just don’t want to always get all the praise like giving Aneesah her props, and giving her flowers, she’s one of the top guards in the country. I don’t want this to always be on me.
“I don’t get the Player of the Year without Aneesah. I don’t get my rebounds without Aneesah I don’t score without Aneesah, so coaches yeah, ya’ll can give me my props but we are both Players of the Year at this point. Period.”

Morrow has led her side in rebounds in their last four wins and she recently opened up about her goals this season with LSU aiming to earn a second straight championship. “I of course want to continue to get my double-doubles, defensively and offensively. I do have a goal to potentially break the record in steals.
“I came so close to that last year. Also just being able to stay consistent. I feel like my whole career that is what I pride myself on, that consistency and being able to rebound the ball and score offensively. I also do not want to just be a shot-taker, but a shot-maker.”
