Fans are expressing their excitement and predictions across social media. One fan noted, “The Sky landing both Kamilla Cardoso AND Angel Reese would be insane from a marketing perspective at the very least.” Another added, “Less than 24 hours away from Angel Reese being a Chicago Sky player.”
The possibility of drafting both Reese and Cardoso has fans dreaming of a new rivalry, with one commenting, “I really hope the Sky draft Cardoso and Reese tonight so we can get a good ol’ Fever-Sky Midwest rivalry going soon.” Another fan is looking forward to merchandise sales, mentioning, “That Angel Reese Chicago Sky jersey is gonna do big numbers.”
