Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sabreena Merchant of The Athletic wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7133789\/2026\/03\/20\/2026-wnba-mock-draft-azzi-fudd-flaujae-johnson\/\">2026 WNBA mock draft<\/a>. She has the Sky taking UCLA guard Kiki Rice with the fifth pick. Below is what Merchant said about the Sky selecting Rice:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Perhaps my focus on what Kiki Rice isn&#8217;t (a pure point guard) has obscured much of what she does well. The Big Ten tournament was laid bare exactly why Rice is so valuable: she puts pressure on the rim, she&#8217;s a willing playmaker and she is genuinely disruptive to opposing ballhandlers. That combination of defense and secondary offensive skills &#8211; plus she has good size &#8211; should result in a long pro career for Rice. The Sky need a point guard, especially one who knows how to make life easier for bigs, and Rice fits the bill.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rice has been having a career season with the Bruins in college basketball as they compete for the NCAA Championship. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4565505\/kiki-rice\">is averaging<\/a> 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals while having a 50.0\/37.6\/89.8 shooting split. Rice could be a welcome addition to the Chicago backcourt.<\/p>\n<p>There are a significant number of players who are free agents as well, so landing a key rookie will be critical. It will be intriguing to see if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-sky-add-former-angel-reese-teammate-in-espns-2026-wnba-mock-draft\/\">the Sky<\/a> would select her when they are on the clock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the WNBA lockout officially over, the 2026 WNBA Draft is getting close.
