The Chicago Sky made strategic moves in the recent WNBA Draft, selecting South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso and LSU forward Angel Reese with the No. 3 and No. 7 overall picks, respectively. Cardoso, notable for averaging over 15 points and 10 rebounds on at least 60% shooting during an NCAA Tournament title run, joins Reese, who was also a top player from LSU. The Sky traded up to secure Reese, indicating their targeted approach in strengthening their team with these new additions. Both players, previously SEC rivals, are now set to be teammates in a frontcourt with two national champions, enhancing the Sky's prospects.
