Angel Reese knows exactly who she wants the Chicago Sky to bag with the third pick in the WNBA draft.
The 22-year-old revealed her choice from the upcoming class and assessed the strengths of her WNBA rivals on an episode of her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel.’

Angel Reese opened up on the Chicago Sky
With UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers being selected by the Dallas Wings at No.1 a foregone conclusion, who goes at two, three and four is anyone’s guess.
Projections from analysts at ESPN expect Kiki Iriafen and Azzi Fudd to be the second and third picks from the Seattle Storm and Sky in the upcoming WNBA draft but stocks keep shifting.
Chicago superstar Reese told podcast guest Lisa Leslie she wants her team to select Olivia Miles when they are on the clock.
“It’s gonna be interesting with picks too, because Olivia Miles,” Leslie began.
“We’re trying to get her,” Reese quickly replied.
Leslie pointed out that attention on Miles is rising, saying: “I know, but she might up that stock. She might end up at two now.”
The Sky are in desperate need of a point guard and with Iriafen a power forward and Fudd a shooting guard, the next PG available is Miles.
ESPN projected Miles to be selected by the Washington Mystics at four but her standout performances in the ongoing college basketball season means it’ll be no shock if Seattle snaps her up with the second pick.
The 22-year-old is averaging an impressive 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6.3 assists per outing, leading Notre Dame to a stellar 22-2 record including a dominant 17-game winning streak.
This is not the first time Reese has publicly called for Miles’ arrival.

The WNBA superstar is currently competing in the offseason Unrivaled league
When the point guard asked if she would wear her hair out for a game just last month, Reese chimed in with a cheeky suggestion.
“Yeah, but only if you color it blue and yellow,” she replied — a direct reference to the Sky’s team colors.
As Reese looks forward to the Sky strengthening their roster ahead of her sophomore season in the WNBA, the forward also recognized the strengths of rivals, particularly Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever.
The Fever have enjoyed a brilliant offseason with the addition of two WNBA champions in DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard.
Leslie, herself a double WNBA champion, told Reese: “Indiana has just gotten so much stronger, and they are trying to be contenders now, and they kept Kelsey Mitchell.”
Reese nodded in agreement before saying, “They did, yeah it’s tough.”
Angel Reese’s Unrivaled debut divides but fans jump to WNBA star’s defense
If Chicago can draft a star to pair with Reese at No.3, the Sky can enjoy a strong season in 2025 after the disappointment of last year.
Chicago was heading to the postseason before Reese suffered an injury that effectively derailed the campaign and ended any hopes of reaching the playoffs.
This upcoming WNBA season, expectations are Sky-high with a new coach and high draft selection, meaning a postseason run is the minimum aim.
