Good morning, Chicago.

It’s was busy weekend for the Chicago Sky, who got started on their roster makeover after trading All-Star forward Angel Reese last week.

The Sky have now completely shaken up their backcourt with the addition of DiJonai Carrington alongside newly added guards Skylar Diggins and Jacy Sheldon. The team should be able to apply higher pressure on the perimeter while also running a more organized system, two key weaknesses from last year’s roster. Also back in the fold? Guards Courtney Vandersloot and Rachel Banham.

The frontcourt now consist of forwards Rickea Jackson and Azurá Stevens, centers Kamilla Cardoso and Elizabeth Williams and second-year forward Maddy Westbeld.

The team's next step? Tonight's WNBA draft.
