Triple-Double Machine as Sky’s Pick? Will It Reshape WNBA Draft?

Despite trade rumors following the 2025 season, Angel Reese is expected to remain with the Chicago Sky for the 2026 WNBA campaign. However, Reese has expressed her unwillingness to endure another losing season like the team's 10-34 record from the previous year.

With the Sky holding the fifth pick in the upcoming 2026 WNBA Draft, general manager Jeff Pagliocca faces a critical decision. While top prospects like UConn's Azzi Fudd may be out of reach, and players such as Lauren Betts and Awa Fam could be seen as redundant alongside Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, a new mock draft suggests the Sky may target TCU star Olivia Miles to address backcourt weaknesses.

Olivia Miles, a standout floor general who transferred to TCU from Notre Dame, has recorded four triple-doubles in her past seven games. Averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 assists, and 7.4 rebounds for the 13th-ranked Horned Frogs, Miles is viewed as an immediate solution to the Sky's scoring and playmaking needs, making her a potential ideal fit alongside Angel Reese.
