Chicago Sky: Who is the best player on the next Chicago Sky contending team?

There’s not a better feel-good story in the WNBA than the marriage of teammates Allie Quigley and Courtney Vandersloot. Quigley bounced around the league for years, getting scarce minutes, before finally finding the right on-court (and off-court) scenario in Chicago, developing into one of the WNBA’s most dead-eye three-point shooters.

The issue is that Vandersloot is 30 and Quigley is 32. They both nearly tied Diamond DeShields for the team lead in minutes played last year — an odd allocation of minutes for a team that was clearly in rebuilding mode. In his first season as head coach, James Wade should have permission to take his lumps with the team’s 24-and-under core: Diamond DeShields, Gabby Williams, Alaina Coates, and rookie Katie Lou Samuelson. If Vandersloot stays on the point and Quigley stays leading the team in shots, the Sky will likely shuffle through another year without fully knowing the potential they have onboard.
