On Monday, the Sky selected the former LSU women's basketball standout at No. 7 overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

The 6-foot-3 Clark joins the 6-7 center Cardoso to form one of the best frontcourts in the WNBA. Dwyane Wade, a partial owner of the Sky, called Reese a "generational talent" on X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier in the day on Monday.

Reese, who transferred from Maryland before last season, helped the Tigers win their first NCAA championship during the 2022-23 season. In her senior season with the Tigers, she averaged 18.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. She finished with the second most double-doubles in LSU history, with 61, trailing only Sylvia Fowles.
