The Chicago Sky weren't done landing star forwards in the 2024 WNBA Draft, as they selected LSU star Angel Reese seventh overall on Monday night.
This pick comes after Chicago selected South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso third overall.
Reese's stardom skyrocketed after transferring from Maryland to LSU for the 2022-23 season.

She averaged a double-double with 23 points and 15.4 rebounds per game, as her relentless style of play led the Tigers to a national title, defeating Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Tournament last year.
The Tigers made it to the Final Four again this year with Reese leading the way alongside future WNBA stars like Flau'Jae Johnson, although this time they couldn't beat the Hawkeyes.

Still, Reese's season ended with 34 double-doubles, the most in NCAA history, as he averaged 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds per game in 33 games.
Fighting back tears after hearing her name called, Reese expressed her excitement about playing with Cardoso, who she said she has been competing against since high school.

Reese is also happy to be coached by Teresa Weatherspoon, the new Sky head coach and Hall of Famer who played for the New York Liberty since the beginning of the WNBA.
Reese is a relentless player in the paint and, along with Cardoso, the Sky have an immediate presence down low, whether they are on the court together or switching between each other.
Off the court, Reese has built a strong following since joining the Tigers, and he makes no apologies for the way he competes, which has included some trash talk the past two seasons.
