Ahead of one of the most highly-anticipated drafts in recent memory, it is uncertain where the bevy of big-name players will end up. The Chicago Sky, owners of the No. 3 pick, No. 8 pick and No. 13 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, are more than willing to take advantage of such exciting uncertainty as they look to rebuild from the bottom up.
After losing Kahleah Copper to the Phoenix Mercury, Courtney Williams and Alanna Smith to the Minnesota Lynx and Rebekah Gardner to the New York Liberty, new general manager Jeff Pagliocca and new head coach Teresa Weatherspoon have a huge void to fill.
The Sky have a solid core of veteran talent in Elizabeth Williams, Diamond DeShields, Brianna Turner, Marina Mabrey and Isabelle Harrison, along with budding potential in Chennedy Carter and Dana Evans. But they need that spark. They need a player coming in fresh out of college, with idealism, a proven track record of success and an eagerness to get down to business and prove herself.
For the No. 3 pick, there are three marquee names being floated around, each of whom have the skills in the critical areas of scoring and rebounding that the Sky need. And if Chicago is fortunate, maybe one still will be available at No. 8.
