Chicago Sky selects former Angel Reese teammate in Sporting News’ latest WNBA mock draft
The Chicago Sky are in a position where things could be looking a lot different when they are on the clock in the 2026 WNBA Draft. They hold the fifth pick in this year’s draft, so they can add an immediate impactful player for the roster. They have some spots filled despite the upcoming massive free agent class. Let’s take a look at who one outlet has the Sky selecting and why it makes sense.
The Chicago Sky select Flau’jae Johnson in the Sporting News’ latest mock draft
David Suggs of Sporting News wrote a mock draft that had the Sky selecting LSU guard Flau’jae Johnson with the fifth overall pick. Below is what Suggs said about this pick:
“Angel Reese’s progreesion as a passer was a godsend for the Sky, who boasted perhaps women’s basketball’s worst backcourt in 2025. The Sky will get reinforcements in the form of Hohnson, Reese’s old college teammate. Johnson is a dogged defender who will inject much-needed athleticism into a Chicago side bereft of it. Her stock dipped slightly in her senior season. But Johnson remains an alluring prospect. She should be able to feed Reese and Kamilla Cardoso with a healthy portion of entry passes in 2026 and beyond.”
Johnson played 141 games (139 starts) with the LSU Tigers over the course of four years. She averaged 14.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.9 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game. Pairing Johnson with one of her former teammate in Angel Reese would be a massive positive. Johnson’s ability to improve her 3-point shooting each season while being a tough defender makes her an easy selection.
Chicago does not need frontcourt members with Reese and Cordoso still under contract. This isn’t the only time Johnson has been mocked to Chicago either. With a bevy of free agents being available, this would be a good trio to build around and be a core of the Sky roster.
