So I got to see my first in person Sky game the other day against the Mercury and of course the Sky play their worst possible game, but I did have some observations.
-Angel Reese defensively is a beast. The Rodman comp seems accurate for right now, can pretty much do it all defensively except stop Brittany Griner and obviously cleans the glass. Offensively though, needs a lot of work. She is very clearly right handed, but shoots with her left for some reason, perhaps the reasoning is there on the internet somewhere idk. If she ever does figure out her shot, she'll be a 20/10+ every night.
-The Sky cannot shoot 3s at all lol. Not sure if the absence of Chennedy Carter played into that at all, but they were just blowing wide open looks all night. Dana Evans hit a few to make it look better than it was at the end of the game.
-Like the Bulls, Sky seem to give up a lot of corner 3s., seemed like the Mercury made every single one
-Despite all their bad play in this game and obvious flaws as a team, they can still get a playoff spot which is pretty impressive for the group
-Taurasi is so smooth, pretty nuts she's 42.
-Kahleah Copper is nice with it, easy to see why she was FMVP in the past and a key player on the Olympic team this year. Sky fans still love her, for good reason.
-Cardoso looks like she should be more impactful on the offensive glass than she was, but maybe it was the matchup as Griner is probably one of the few who can match her size.
You can see the potential of this Sky team, hopefully their player development is better than the Bulls
