The Chicago Sky lost 59.1% of their scoring from last season, the largest decline in the WNBA. As a result, many expected them to finish between 10th and 12th in the standings. However, thanks to strong performances from newcomers Chennedy Carter (acquired via free agency) and Angel Reese (7th overall pick), the Sky have defied expectations and emerged as playoff contenders, currently sitting in 8th place at the midway point of the season.
The duo's impact has been evident, with both players ranking in the top 16 in Win Shares in the WNBA. As a starter, Chennedy Carter has seen a significant scoring increase, currently ranking 14th in scoring this season with 16.5 points per game.
Meanwhile, Angel Reese has stepped up in her first season, averaging 14.1 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, filling the void left by Alanna Smith's departure and Elizabeth Williams' season-ending injury. Reese's contributions have helped the Chicago Sky rise from near the bottom of the league in rebounds last season to currently ranking #1 in rebounding.
This highlights the impact the two players have had this season. In the team's last two wins, they combined for 49 points, accounting for 56.6% of the team's scoring in those games.
@piperboywilliam Reed vs Calicoe didnโt get a lot of views because both battlers chocked as media you should give more context to your statements instead of pushing a narrative
@Vada_Fly we need more interviews like this Charlie Clips interview or that Tay Roc interview on your YouTube channel on a weekly segment itโs fire and we get to really see the battle rappers in their raw form and not answering questions right after battles
