Meanwhile, in a press conference after she was selected, Cardoso put other WNBA team's on notice about their paint dominance.

The sports world is heavily anticipating seeing how Caitlin Clark adjusts to the WNBA with the Indiana Fever but it will be interesting to see how Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese play together for a Chicago Sky team that finished 18-22 last season. Will Reese and Cardoso, who come from dominant college programs that won the last two national championships, bring a winning pedigree back to the Sky?

The dominant duo plays their first game on May 15th against the Dallas Wings. Then, Reese and Cardoso will see Caitlin Clark for the first time in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup Tournament on June 1st in a matchup that will be must-see TV.
