One-Month Check-In: Pending
End-of-Season Review: Pending
Three-Year Check-In: Pending
Outstanding Trades
INCOMING: No. 5: The Chicago Sky acquired this pick through a series of swaps involving the Phoenix Mercury and the Connecticut Sun. Feb 2024: Acquired Phoenix’s 2026 1st-round pick (Copper trade). July 2024: Earned right to swap Phoenix’s pick for Connecticut’s 2026 1st (Mabrey trade). Result: Exercised swap for the No. 5 pick after Connecticut finished with a worse record. 2nd Round: TBD Right to swap with Phoenix Mercury.
OUTGOING: No. 2: The Chicago Sky traded this pick to the Minnesota Lynx in April 2025. In exchange, Chicago received the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft (used to select Hailey Van Lith).
Round 2: 20th
6-4 | F Latasha Lattimore
Instant Analysis: Following a roster overhaul defined by the arrivals of Skylar Diggins and Rickea Jackson, the Chicago Sky’s selection of Gabriela Jaquez brings a high-motor guard with a three-level scoring game. Latasha Lattimore offers interior length and rim protection, while Tonie Morgan adds depth with her perimeter speed and playmaking. These picks help offset the departures of Angel Reese and Ariel Atkins to support an aggressive, revamped veteran core.
One-Month Check-In: First-round pick Gabriela Jaquez has translated her high-energy play to the professional level, providing an immediate two-way spark on the wing with her relentless motor. Undrafted rookie guard Sydney Taylor, who went unselected in 2024 before playing overseas, has been a revelation for the franchise after earning a roster spot out of training camp. She has emerged as a key contributor, providing perimeter scoring and clutch shooting.

Outstanding Trades
INCOMING: No. 10: The Chicago Sky traded Marina Mabrey to the Connecticut Sun for Rachel Banham and Moriah Jefferson, a 2025 first-round draft pick, and the rights to swap 2026 first-round picks with the Sun. No. 11: The Chicago Sky traded their 2026 first-round pick to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. No. 16 and No. 22: The Chicago Sky traded Dana Evans for 2 second-round picks.
OUTGOING: No. 3: The Chicago Sky traded this pick as part of the Ariel Atkins trade. No. 29: Los Angeles acquired Julie Allemand, the rights to Li Yueru, and a 2025 third-round pick for 2024 first-round pick.
Instant Analysis: The Sky secured a well-rounded draft class with Sivka, Van Lith, Westbeld, and Coulibaly, addressing shooting while adding size and versatility. Van Lith provides scoring punch, Westbeld brings perimeter shooting, and Coulibaly’s upside is intriguing. The big question? Is Sivka ready to make the jump to the WNBA? If she adjusts quickly, this draft could look even better in hindsight.
One-Month Check-In: With Ajša Sivka competing in EuroBasket, her WNBA debut may wait until 2026. Aicha Coulibaly was waived. Hailey Van Lith has stepped up following Vandersloot’s injury, and her minutes are likely to increase. Maddy Westbeld remains on the fringes of the rotation.
