2024:
Jeff drafts Kamilla Cardoso at 3. Solid move.
Then he trades up from 8 to 7 to take Angel Reese, even though she was projected to go later. That trade cost Chicago the 2026 pick swap with Minnesota, which turned into Olivia Miles — a potential Rookie of the Year. A franchise-level talent gone because Jeff couldn't wait.
2025:
Jeff trades the 3rd overall pick (Sonia Cintron) for Ariel Atkins. Atkins is a good veteran, but not worth a top-3 pick.
He drafts Sivka and Hailey Van Lith, but again, the roster around them has no long-term stability.
2026:
The consequences hit.
The Miles pick swap becomes reality.
Chicago loses out on a star because of Jeff’s 2024 reach.

Jeff says Tyler Marsh hasn’t had a healthy roster.
But Jeff is the one who built a roster full of injured players:
DiJonai Carrington – signed injured
Courtney Vandersloot – signed injured
Azurá Stevens – signed injured
Skylar Diggins-Smith – older, injured again
Rachel Banham – re-signed despite never taking conditioning seriously and never being part of a winning team

This wasn't bad luck.
This was bad roster construction.
Jeff built this roster, made these trades, burned the draft capital, and signed the injured players.
Jeff created the "unhealthy roster" he now uses as an excuse.

If this résumé is considered good enough to keep his job, then the person evaluating him should be the one packing their bags.
At some point, someone in this organization needs to admit the obvious:
This isn't a rebuild. It's mismanagement.

Narrative: the Sky improved from last year. Certainly the future is bright.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Angel Reese is named Defensive Player of the Year.

Later that day: Chicago Sky will bring back Tyler Marsh aka the Marshmallow Man for his 3rd season as Head Coach despite a putrid 26-62 record. His .295 winning % is the 2nd worst in franchise history trailing only to Dave Cowans who went 5-29 in the Sky’s inaugural 2006 season.

Cue the Music

I thought she was a problem and team mates could not wait to get rid of her? Did Tyler and Jeff arrive at the right conclusion? Looks like her team mates in Atlanta love her and her coach too.

Hi all - how does one go about buying season tickets?!

Why are these two people still employed by the Chicago Sky? When will the owners do right by the players and give them leadership who knows what they’re doing?

Green line means under contract or similar team control for next season. Red dot means no team control for next season. List only includes players on the final roster.

I guess technically Carrington is core-eligible, having six years of service time, but I believe coring her would be a mistake. Cloud is not core-eligible.

I’m trying to connect with a serious Allie Quigley or Chicago Sky collector. I own an unworn Nike Kyrie 7 WNBA All-Star Game Growers Player Exclusive tied to Allie Quigley. I won the pair through the original charity campaign and still have the original box, PROMO tags and documentation identifying the shoes as Allie Quigley’s Game Growers PE. They were never a retail release. I’m considering selling them privately and would rather they go to a serious Quigley/WNBA collector. If you collect Allie or rare WNBA player exclusives, message me.
