Former Gamecock Kamilla Cardoso, and current Chicago Sky center, finished her debut season in the WNBA being selected to the 2024 WNBA All-Rookie Team. 

Cardoso was selected alongside Chicago Sky teammate Angel Reese, New York Liberty forward Leonie Fiebich, LA Sparks forward Rickea Jackson, and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.  This rookie class, headlined by Reese and Clark, have been praised by many as one of the best rookie classes in the history of the WNBA, giving even more importance to Cardoso’s selection. 

After being sidelined with early season injuries, Cardoso averaged 9.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks while shooting 52% from the field in 32 games as a rookie. 

With her stellar rookie campaign, Cardoos continues to add to her legacy as one of the best players of the Dawn Staley era in Columbia.
