I think that her basketball IQ is very high.

And any team would love her effort.

So I don't know that she necessarily had the veteran leadership that she should have had coming into the WNBA.

I wish that for her because you think about the top teams like Minnesota and you think about Nafisa Collier having someone like Big Seal.

You know, Big Seal.

You know what I mean?

Like to have a veteran that's just like, hey, this is what we do.

This is how we work.

she didn't have that and she still hasn't had that.

And that's the part where I feel like, wow, that your introduction to this league really hasn't been what most rookies have.

And that is an opportunity to be a rookie and have a veteran that leads you.

And even if that veteran is not necessarily leading in scoring and all of that, but just how to be a pro, how you carry yourself, things that you respond to, things you don't respond to.

So I think in some ways, I wish he would have had more of that veteran leadership on the team day in and day out.

And I hope for the future that she... I don't know what's going to happen with Chicago, but if she ends up somewhere else, that she can end up in a place where a team can really appreciate what she brings to the table.

Because she's a baller.

And a baller and a dog and all of those things that you describe as a player, to me, I'll take that over a person who...

You know, they may be a good player, but they don't have that heart and fight.

See, Angel has that heart and fight that you need in order to be successful and win.

And so I know that the top teams that they know that you see that when you watch her play.

Well, here's my thing.
