The Chicago Sky are headed into a new season with quite a different roster. Some fans are enthusiastic, while others are not.<\/p>\n
One of the most talked about moves was Angel Reese getting traded to the Atlanta Dream<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201c\u200b\u200bShe just brought so much culture to the team,\u201d said Delaney Sulzer, a recent DePaul graduate.\u201cShe only had two seasons there, but I think her impact was, on and off the floor, just absolutely amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Ayanna Nepos, who has been a WNBA fan for the past four years, was not happy with the news.<\/p>\n \u201cI was really sad about it,\u201d said Nepos, a senior finance major. \u201cI have an Angel shirt. I think that\u2019s the only official (WNBA) merch I own.\u201d<\/p>\n Vincent Pe\u00f1a, a sports communications professor at DePaul, said that he isn\u2019t surprised Reese got traded.<\/p>\n \u201cFactually speaking, she\u2019s not a great scorer,\u201d Pe\u00f1a said. \u201cShe does, obviously, get a lot of rebounds, and she plays good defense. Those are valuable things, but \u2026 when you\u2019re the cornerstone of your franchise, you can\u2019t just be a good rebounder and defender.\u201d<\/p>\n With Reese gone, the Sky has acquired many players.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sky traded Ariel Atkins for Rickea Jackson, who was previously on the Los Angeles Sparks. Jackson averaged<\/a> 14.7 points per game and made 42.4% of her shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sky picked Gabriela Jaquez at No. 5 in the WNBA draft<\/a>. Her brother, Jaime Jaquez Jr., is in the NBA on the Miami Heat. They\u2019re the first siblings<\/a> of Mexican descent ever chosen by two big professional basketball leagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sky signed free agent Skylar Diggins. She recently played for the Seattle Storm and is a seven-time All-Star. She averaged<\/a> 15.5 points per game and six assists last season.<\/p>\n
