The Chicago Sky might well be cooking up the best young tandem in the WNBA. Though it’s still early days, Angel Reeseand Kamilla Cardoso are showing major potential to become one of the most powerful frontcourts in the league.
Cardoso, after being sidelined with a shoulder injury at the start of the season, has only played four games thus far. However, her performance is already on an increasing track. After scoring 11 points in her rookie debut against the Indiana Fever, she had a quiet couple of games with just three points combined. But Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Dream was a different story.
