Angel Reese taken by Chicago Sky at No. 7 in 2024 WNBA Draft
NY Post
Angel Reese will be embarking on her WNBA journey with the Chicago Sky.
A projected top-10 pick, the former LSU star was the No. 7 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
In front of about 1,000 fans for the first time in league history, Reese accepted her Sky jersey alongside league commissioner Cathy Engelbert on stage.
While Reese was one of the biggest figures within the sport, especially after the highly entertaining and flashy 2023 NCAA Women’s Final against the newly crowned Fever’s No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark, there are a few reasons she could have dropped within the draft.
The Post’s Jonathan Lehman predicted she would fall to No. 8, going to the Chicago Sky, questioning whether she would be able to keep up her average of six offensive rebounds per game over the past two seasons with LSU in the WNBA.
Also, her mysterious early-season absence from LSU was largely swept under the rug and may have raised red flags for organizations.

Wednesday will mark 140 days since the Knicks shook up their fan base and sent a lightning bolt through the league on the eve of training camp. All of that feels rather cute given the way the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap electrified the basketball world two weeks ago, and the continuing aftershocks still reverberating in Dallas, in L.A., and everywhere else in the NBA.
