This is not it. Chicago should have been planning to draft Olivia Miles. In the long term Miles is going to get the Sky further.
Atkins will help get Chicago to the playoffs and possibly contend, but Miles gets them to the Finals, and a championship.

Hopefully I’m wrong.
Drafting Miles gives Washington a big boost. The Mystics are loaded in the front court, like Chicago. So getting Miles will give Karlie Samuelson help.
