Good morning. Kamilla Cardoso is headed to the Windy City! Our girl was the third overall draft pick in last night’s WNBA Draft. Cardoso will suit up for the Chicago Sky this season.

The Follow Season 2 Episode 3: Getting to the postseason takes everybody on the roster, and that means everything from veteran leadership to a freshman stepping up in big moments. Parker Noland and Tyler Pitzer found themselves square in the middle of huge spots when No. 3 Vanderbilt came to town with one facing his former team and the other getting his first-ever collegiate start to go for the sweep. With the Commodores in Columbia, the rookie and the vet took center stage.
