Sky Have No 2025 Draft Picks on Roster

The Chicago Sky's 2025 WNBA draft class represents the organization's lowest point in recent years. The team selected four players—Ajsa Sivka (No. 10), Hailey Van Lith (No. 11), Maddy Westbeld (No. 16), and Aicha Coulibaly (No. 22)—but none remained with the franchise a year later. This comes after the Sky traded away former star Angel Reese to the Dream for what is considered a sparse package, continuing a trend of struggling to replace departing talent since their 2021 WNBA championship.

The Sky's front office, led by Jeff Pagliocca, had high hopes for the 2025 class, particularly Sivka who was expected to provide floor spacing. However, Sivka remained overseas, signing with Kentucky for the 2026 college season. Meanwhile, the team's decision to trade the No. 3 pick (used to select All-Star Sonia Citron) for Ariel Atkins, who was then traded to the Sparks after one year, further highlights the organization's recent draft challenges. cricket-ipl.co.za
