Rahimi & Grote Show · Julia Poe talks new-look Chicago Sky, Bulls' executive search · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

But, you know, when you look at what the Sky are trying to construct with this roster, kind of the timeline, the scope that they have, Jaquez makes a lot of sense.

She fits the bill of kind of this front office's type for a player in terms of length, in terms of two-way play, her shooting.

And also something that you're going to hear about a lot, her characters.

This is a leader.

This is a winning player.

This is a player that meant a lot to that UCLA program.

And so I think with the culture that this team is trying to build, all of that kind of makes sense in terms of the complete package.

Yeah, definitely.

I think that, you know, you can look at it a couple of ways.

Rice would have made sense, I think, from the perspective that the Sky don't have a future at the point guard position right now.

They have two older veterans, Skylar Diggins and Courtney Vanderslee filling that position.

So Rice would have made a lot of sense if you're looking at, OK, let's kind of make sure that we have a young developing player behind those vets.

But that's not what the Sky were looking for.

They were looking for what they consider to be a winning player.

And Jaquez, what she can fill on the wings, makes sense for a team that is trying to make the playoffs this season, that wants to make a playoff run this season, and kind of has very lofty goals for what they can do in year one of this rebuild.

So I think that you're right if you were surprised by it.

I was surprised by it.

I wasn't necessarily even sure about the pick at first when it came through.

But I think that when you kind of look at the logic of how this guy had been doing this build, it does at least make sense for what they're thinking.

Now it's up to Hawkins to show that her defense can make it over into the WNBA and also that her shooting can just be as consistent as possible.
