"Just the beginning": Dwyane Wade excited about Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso after pair's terrific debut
Dwyane Wade has reacted to Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso’s chemistry during their preseason debut. The two Chicago Sky stars were in action against the Minnesota Lynx in their preseason opener on Friday.
Reese, a standout performer at LSU and a national champion in 2023, was quick to find her rhythm despite the team's overall rocky start. Starting alongside Elizabeth Williams, Diamond DeShields, Marina Mabrey, and Dana Evans, Reese proved to be a dynamic force on the court.
In 24 minutes, Reese scored 13 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and notched two steals and a block. On the flip side, Kamilla Cardoso suffered a fall and injured her right shoulder.
Before her exit, she had contributed six points on 3-of-5 shooting, along with four rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes.
Despite their team’s narrow defeat (92-81), it was a sign of things to come for Chicago Sky as the two players showed excellent chemistry. Reacting to the same, Wade took to X/Twitter and had this to say:
“Just the beginning!”
Angel Reese speaks about the difference in the NCAA and WNBA
Angel Reese was selected by the Chicago Sky as the seventh overall pick. The 2023 NCAA champion has been giving it her absolute best in team practice.
It looks like Reese has already identified the difference between college ranks and the professional level. Being part of one of the most stacked WNBA drafts, she got a taste of what professional competition is all about even before playing her first game.
In an interview with WGN News, Angel Reese said:
“I'm working up a sweat before practice so I'm getting here at 8, 9 o'clock I'm already ready to go-- I used to workout before practice at LSU but it wasn’t like this. Just being able to adjust to that has been good for me-- my mom is worried about me, I'm telling her 'I'm good' but it's been good. I'm loving this."
That said, it remains to be seen how her rookie year plays out in the WNBA.
