The Chicago Sky are in a position where they will get a massive star in the 2026 WNBA Draft. With the lockout continuing and a lot of players being free agents, landing a star in the draft is critical. Chicago holds the fifth pick in the first round, so let’s take a deeper dive into who they are mocked to take.

The Chicago Sky select Flau’jae Johnson in ESPN’s WNBA mock draft

LSU Tigers, Flau'jae Johnson
South Carolina Gamecocks guard Raven Johnson (25) defends Louisiana State Tigers guard Flau’jae Johnson (4) Saturday, March 7, 2026, during the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament semifinals game at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

ESPN’s Michael Voepel wrote a one-round 2026 WNBA mock draft as we get closer to a potential CBA agreement. In the draft, he has the Sky drafting shooting guard Flau’jae Johnson out of LSU. Below is what he wrote about the pick:

“Johnson’s scoring average is down from last season (13.8 PPG compared with 18.6), but a lot of that has to do with LSU having so much strong guard play and spreading around the offense. One key stat is up this season for Johnson: She is shooting a career-best 43.9% from behind the arc. Her energy and effectiveness on defense are big positives as well.”

Johnson will have at least some chemistry if she is drafted here, as she was teammates with forward Angel Reese at LSU. The only guard under contract currently for Chicago is Hailey Van Lith, so there is certainly a need for backcourt help. With a majority of the WNBA All-Stars from last season already free agents once the lockout officially ends, this is a way to get some outstanding talent under contract.

Johnson has played 138 games in four years with LSU and is averaging 14.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.9 blocks with a 46.5/37.5/74.7 shooting split in 29.3 minutes per game. It would be an intriguing fit for Chicago if they could land Johnson with the fifth pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
