The preseason conflict underlined how each and each Reese and the Sky are a piece in progress, though. She shot 2-of-8 from the bottom, dedicated 5 fouls, and had two turnovers to just correct one lend a hand. Chicago, within the period in-between, by no methodology led and allowed Minnesota to shoot 52.9 p.c from the self-discipline.
The Sky are within the guts of a paunchy-scale rebuild with first-year head coach Teresa Weatherspoon after having traded away 2021 WNBA Finals MVP Kahleah Copper.
Of the 11 avid gamers to gaze the bottom for the Sky, three are draft picks (Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and Brynna Maxwell) and one more two are on coaching camp contracts (Kysre Gondrezick and Chennedy Carter) while attempting WNBA comebacks.
The upside for Reese is that she might per chance per chance well per chance nonetheless personal gargantuan alternative to play and work via her inevitable adjustment length within the pros.
