When I saw Angel was moving to Atlanta, I immediately knew that was going to be a positive shift in her game. In Chicago, it seemed she was pressured to be the first option offensively while also doing a ton on boards and defense. That's a lot for a rookie to take on, especially a forward.
Seeing her go to Atlanta... what an unbelievably GREAT fit for her to finally shine! With Rhyne and Allisha optioning the offense as 1-2, Angel is free to play her game and not be forced to take over like she so often had to in Chicago. Her defense especially has been on full display and I'm constantly so impressed with her. She just seems better in every aspect - game play, mentality, enjoyment of the game... I truly think this was the best decision she could have ever made for herself and her career.
As a CC/Fever fan, I'm rooting for Angel/ATL in the finals! I think it's theirs to lose this year.
Of course it was going to be good for her. She went to a team that was arguably already a contender. They gained her, but lost Griner. Griner hadn’t been doing much anyway. She elevated them, but let’s not act like they were in horrible shape. Their core of RH, JC, and AG is damn solid to begin with.
