During the majority of their collegiate careers, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso have engaged in paint battles. Nevertheless, they’ll be together for the first time following Monday’s WNBA draft, which is among the most anticipated in the history of the league.
Reese, a native of Baltimore who was taken seventh out of Louisiana State University, and Cardoso, the Brazilian who was drafted third overall by the Chicago Sky, are a dangerous combination.
Immediately upon being selected, Reese exclaimed, “I’m just so excited I get to play with Kamilla.” Ever since high school, I have been playing against her.
Cardoso also expressed excitement about playing with Reese, who complements him in the frontcourt by providing height and strength. (Cardoso is six feet seven, while Reese is six feet
During a press conference following the draft, Cardoso remarked, “Two great players together, nobody’s going to get no rebounds on us.”
Eight days after the college women’s basketball season concluded with a historic championship game in which Cardoso and the South Carolina Gamecocks upset Iowa and Caitlin Clark to complete a perfect, undefeated season and win the trophy, Monday’s draft took place.
It was the most viewed basketball game of any kind, regardless of gender, since 2019 with close to 19 million viewers. Despite not having a championship to her name, Clark was chosen as the first overall choice by the Indiana Fever on Monday.
The main point, in Clark’s opinion, is that he is extremely fortunate to be in this situation at this time, as these possibilities and experiences only come around once in a lifetime.
Opening Day for the WNBA is May 14. On May 15, the Chicago Sky will play their inaugural game against the Dallas Wings.
