WEB: Chicago Sky Select Kamilla Cardoso With No. 3 Overall Pick in 2024 WNBA Draft
A New Era Begins in Chicago
Cardoso Brings Versatility and Star Power to the Sky
The Chicago Sky made a bold move in the 2024 WNBA Draft, selecting Kamilla Cardoso with the No. 3 overall pick. Cardoso, a 6-foot-7 center from Brazil, is considered one of the most versatile and promising prospects in the draft.
Cardoso played college basketball at South Carolina, where she quickly established herself as one of the best defenders in the country. She was named SEC Defensive Player of the Year in both 2023 and 2024, and was also named to the All-SEC Defensive Team three times.
Offensively, Cardoso is a force in the paint. She has a soft touch around the rim and is a capable passer. She also has the potential to develop into a consistent outside shooter.
Cardoso joins a Sky team that is looking to build on its WNBA championship in 2021. The Sky have a young and talented core led by 2023 MVP Candace Parker and 2024 All-Star Kahleah Copper. Cardoso's addition gives the Sky a dynamic frontcourt that could be one of the best in the league.
Cardoso is expected to make an immediate impact for the Sky. She is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions. She is also a skilled rebounder and has the potential to be a major scorer. The Sky are excited about Cardoso's potential and believe she can help them contend for another WNBA championship.
