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

Those are going to be kind of the big factors for her to be able to make an impact right away.

They're going to have a big challenge coming into the training camp.

Uh, something that, you know, folks who maybe aren't as familiar with the WNBA don't maybe realize is how few roster spots there are.

There are 12 spots right now.

This guy has one open and Hawkins is going to try to do her best to make sure that she holds onto that as obviously the front runner for that position.

So I think what we're going to see is some training camp battles.

I think,

that uh the two other players drafted that you mentioned they can come in and put some pressure on last year's draft picks maddie westfeld and hayley van lift they both play similar positions and so they're going to come in and really compete for that but you know second and third round wmba draft picks are typically really just doing their best to fight for either again that 12th position training camp uh contracts or maybe some of these new player development contracts that we've seen added in so that's going to be kind of the focus for those two

Yeah, I think when you talk about the popularity, something that's interesting to me, and this is from an outside perspective.

I did not grow up in Chicago, but I've been here for about five years now.

And the thing that I really feel like I've learned about Chicago is that Chicago does love stars.

Anyone would love, you know, a dynamic player like an Angel Reese coming in and joining their program.

But they also care a lot about winning.

And I think that that was something that we have seen with the Sky is that this team has always done its best with the fan base, with popularity in the city.

When it can pair any level of star power, whether that, you know, is a Candice Parker or going back to players in the past before that, you have to pair that stardom with winning.

And this team was not winning.

So I think that what we see from this new roster rebuild is balance.

I think that one thing that I like to see in a roster is that when I look at this roster, I can tell just on paper.

how they're going to play.

You can look at the balance, you can look at the construction, and you can say, okay, they're going to stretch the floor, they're going to play fast, they're going to pull the floor out and let Camila Cardoso kind of cook a lot in the low block on her own, they're going to crash the boards, they're going to take a lot of threes.
