Angel Reese Sends Strong Message Ahead of 2025 WNBA Draft
The 2025 WNBA draft is officially upon us, as teams will be selecting their newest stars in just a couple of hours. After the Chicago Sky nailed their first-round picks last season selecting Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, the latter sent a strong message to the 2025 draft class.
The No. 7 pick in the 2024 draft, Reese starred for the Sky as a rookie, averaging 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, earning her an All-Star selection and a spot on the All-Rookie team. Her rivalry with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever drew attention all year long, and they will now headline the WNBA's first-ever Rivals Week.

Now, Reese will go from being a rookie to one of the Sky's most important players in the 2025 campaign. Ahead of the upcoming draft, Reese sent a strong message to the draftees, reminding them to focus on what team selects them, rather than what number pick they get chosen at.
"Happy Draft Day! Remember it doesn't matter what number you get drafted; it's about WHERE you get drafted! Good luck to all the draftees today!" Reese said in a post on X.
The 2025 WNBA draft is scheduled to get underway on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Sky are armed with four picks heading into this draft, as they have both the No. 10 and No. 11 selections in the first round, in addition to the No. 16 and No. 22. picks in the second round.
