he Chicago Sky made a pivotal move at Monday night’s WNBA draft, securing former LSUstarAngel Reese as the No. 7 overall pick. This decision not only adds a high-profile forward to their roster but also marks a significant turning point in Reese’s professional outlook, especially given her previous animosity towards fellow draft pick, Kamila Cardoso.
Reese, 21, has had a stellar collegiate career, with two seasons each at Maryland and LSU, averaging 18.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Despite her commendable 49.8 percent shooting from the field, her three-point performance has been a concern at just 15.6 percent. Yet, her robust defense and rebounding skills are expected to bring immediate value to the Sky.
