I know the work that I've put in," Reese said.
"I trusted the process and I believed — I'm thankful that I dropped to seven and was able to come to Chicago — it's just a blessing, I can't thank my teammates and my coaches enough for just believing and me and trusting me."Shandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
