Chicago Sky

LSU star Angel Reese is heading to the Chicago Sky. The college basketball sensation was selected No. 7 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She joins former South Carolina star Kamilla Cardoso in the Windy City.

Reese was one of the most productive players in women's college basketball during her career. She averaged a double-double during her four seasons — spending two at Maryland before transferring to play her final two seasons at LSU.

Reese averaged 18.6 points and 12.3 rebounds for her career. Her most productive season came during the 2022-23 campaign, averaging an eye-popping 23.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

That season, Reese helped lead LSU to a 34-2 record and a national championship. This past season, the Tigers finished 31-6 and reached the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament.

Reese averaged 18.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. She will provide Chicago with a nice interior presence on both ends of the court, especially with Cardoso getting selected by the Sky earlier in the draft.

Chicago picked Cardoso out of South Carolina with the No. 3 overall selection. Combined, Cardoso and Reese have won three national championships, bringing a winning mentality to the Windy City.

It should be really fun to see those two on the same floor during the 2024 WNBA season.
