Chicago Sky pull off MASSIVE draft, grab Reese and Cardoso

With the third pick, the Sky selected Kamilla Cardoso, center out of South Carolina. Fresh off a national championship win, Cardoso is ready to lock down the paint for the Sky for years to come.

LSU’s Angel Reese was selected by the Sky with the seventh overall pick. There was a lot of talk before the WNBA draft about Reese being a potential top-five draft pick this year. Thankfully, that didn’t happen and the Sky got two superstar players.

Angel Reese was a national champion in 2023 and has become one of the most divisive players in women’s basketball. She has an unapologetically authentic personality and dominates the basketball court. Love her or hate her, Angel Reese is one great basketball player. She should form a dynamic duo with Kamilla Cardoso down low.

With Reese and Cardoso landing in Chicago, the Sky may be on a fast track to competing for a WNBA championship.

Sky-Fever rivalry renewed in 2024

In the past, the Chicago Sky had a fierce rivalry with the Indiana Fever. Now, with Angel Reese landing in Chicago, and Caitlyn Clark going to Indiana, the rivalry is more alive than ever.

Clark and Reese had a heated back and forth rivalry in college basketball the last few years. hopefully that follows them into the WNBA. When those two share the court, the games never fail to entertain.
