The two young stars are back, and the team made major roster changes to give them some help.
Last season with the Chicago Sky, Reese clearly made a name for herself as one of the best rebounders and forwards in the WNBA. The Sky star averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. She was the only rookie to average a double-double and wound up leading the WNBA in average rebounds.
