Chicago Sky Fans, Hold Out for Miracles as Draft Lottery Looms

For Chicago Sky fans, Thursday's league-announced odds of landing the top pick in the 2026 WNBA draft may seem daunting – with less than 6% chances – but that hasn't stopped them from manifesting their team's success. And why not? History has shown us that even seemingly impossible long shots can pay off for teams who believe.

Think back to last year's NBA lottery, where the Dallas Mavericks somehow managed to win it all despite having a mere 1.8% chance of landing the No. 1 pick. That moment brought redemption to a fan base reeling from Luka Dončić's departure. Similarly, Sky fans have lived through their fair share of heartbreak; could they be witnessing something similar in 2026?

Let's take a closer look at two tantalizing prospects who might make this impossible dream a reality: Olivia Miles, the TCU point guard with ball-handling skills reminiscent of Chelsea Gray, and Awa Fam, the 19-year-old EuroBasket sensation with a complete WNBA center package.

Miles would bring much-needed ball-handling expertise to Sky's struggling offense, which has been hindered by Courtney Vandersloot's lingering ACL injury. Her poise on the court, combined with her ability to whip passes behind her head and shoot confidently from deep, makes her an attractive prospect for Chicago.

Meanwhile, Fam's impressive European credentials – including a standout performance in EuroBasket 2025 where she led Spain to the final – suggest she could be a game-changer for the Sky. However, some might question whether another young post player is exactly what they need, given the team's focus on complementing its twin towers, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso.

The bigger picture is that the 2026 draft presents an opportunity for Chicago to restock its cupboard with post players who can provide long-term security in case either Reese or Cardoso declines to re-sign. While fans hold out for miracles, a little bit of hedging from the front office wouldn't hurt – after all, history has shown us that sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

But even if the Sky manage to secure one or both of these prized prospects, will they be enough to catapult the team to the top – or at least the middle – of the league? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, though: with the odds in their favor and a little bit of faith, Chicago Sky fans can hold out for miracles once again on draft lottery day.
 
I agree that it's never too late to manifest success, especially when there's still so much uncertainty about what's going to happen 🤔💫. I mean, think about the NBA situation last year - 1.8% chance of winning everything and yet they did 🙌! Chicago Sky fans have been through tough times before and if they believe in their team now, who knows? Maybe this is gonna be the year 😊. Olivia Miles seems like a great addition to their offense, ball-handling skills would really help them out 💪. And Awa Fam's EuroBasket experience is pretty impressive - maybe she can bring that same level of excitement to Chicago 🤩. But I guess you're right, it's always good to have some kind of safety net in case things don't go as planned 🤔.
 
🌟 The Maximalist here 🌟

Man, I feel you, Sky fans! It's like, yeah, the odds might be against you, but what if I told you that sometimes the impossible becomes possible? Like, remember when the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA lottery last year? That was crazy! And who knows, maybe this is their moment too.

I love the prospects mentioned in this article - Olivia Miles and Awa Fam are like total game-changers. Miles would bring that ball-handling magic to the Sky's offense, and Fam's EuroBasket experience is no joke. But you're right, sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. The front office should definitely consider hedging their bets.

The thing I love most about the Sky fandom, though, is how optimistic they are despite all the heartbreak. It's like, Chicago fans are always holding out for miracles because that's what makes the team so lovable. And honestly, who wouldn't want to believe in a underdog story? 🤞 The draft lottery can't hurt, right?

Only time will tell if this year is going to be Sky's year, but one thing's for sure: Chicago fans are gonna keep dreaming big! 💫
 
I'm loving how passionate the Sky fans are about this draft 🤩! It's amazing to see how much hope they've got for these two talented prospects 💫. I mean, Olivia Miles and Awa Fam do sound like game-changers - can't wait to see what the team will do with them 👀. The thing is, it's not just about landing one of these players, but also how well they'll fit in with the team's existing roster 🤔. Will they be able to gel with Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso? And if not, are there other ways for the Sky to strengthen their frontcourt without taking a huge risk 💸? Only time will tell, I guess... but one thing's for sure - the draft lottery is gonna be crazy exciting! 🎉

I'm telling you, something's off about this whole draft scenario 🤔. I mean, 6% chances of landing the top pick? That sounds way too low to me 🚫. And what's with all these prospects being touted as "game-changers"? It's like they're trying to distract us from the real issue: why did we have such a weak draft last year? 💸

And don't even get me started on the whole "restocking the cupboard" thing 🤦‍♀️. I mean, what if this is all just a smokescreen for something bigger? What if the front office is actually trying to manipulate us into thinking they're doing the right thing when really they're just playing both sides against each other? 🔍

I know some people might say I'm being paranoid, but I've seen too many connections to ignore 🤷‍♀️. It's like there's a giant puppet master pulling all these strings from behind the scenes... and I aim to figure out who it is 😈. So, yeah, I'll be keeping a close eye on this whole draft situation – you can bet your last dollar I will! 💸
 
Wow 🤩💫 The whole NBA lottery situation reminds me of that one song "Miracles" by Justin Timberlake - you know when all your hopes come together and stuff just feels right? The odds might seem low, but if those Sky fans can just keep believing... Who knows what could happen? 😊
 
Ugh 🤯 I'm literally shaking thinking about how low the chances are 😩 5%?!?! What's the point of even watching if you're not gonna get anyone? 🤔 Like, what happened to just having a decent team that doesn't make us cry every single game 💔. Can't we just have one season without feeling like our hopes and dreams are being ripped away from us? 🙄 This whole draft thing is just making me anxious 😬
 
I'm telling you, this WNBA draft lottery situation sounds like something straight outta '02 when the Detroit Shock won it all! They were like that underdog team everyone thought would never make a run. But you know what? Steve Mills and his crew made some magic happen and brought home that championship.

Now I'm not saying Olivia Miles or Awa Fam are gonna be as special as Griner, but they're got potential. I mean, have you seen those highlight reels of Miles whipping passes behind her head? It's like she's channeling her inner Sue Bird! And Fam's EuroBasket performance? That girl can flat out post!

Of course, the Sky need more than just a couple of new players to turn it around. They gotta get that offense humming again and maybe even bring in some veteran support to help stabilize the roster. But hey, draft lottery day is always full of surprises, right?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for these prospects, but I'm also keeping an ear out for what's going on behind the scenes at the United Center. You never know when a few shrewd moves by the front office might just give the Sky that push they need to make some noise in the league. 🤞
 
omg what if they get Olivia Miles?? she sounds like an absolute beast on the court 🤯 that would seriously turn their season around, but then again fam is like a total dark horse too... i mean who wouldn't want a 19-yr-old eurobasket star in your lineup? 🤔 maybe the front office should just hold out and see what happens instead of getting some "safe" post players lol
 
The Sky's chances are like the state of our planet - looking grim 🌪️. With only 6% odds, it's not exactly a miracle worker scenario 🤯. I mean, think about all the other teams struggling to find their footing... but hey, you never know, right? 😒. Olivia Miles and Awa Fam are decent picks, but let's be real, we've seen promising players flop before 🥔. And what about Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso? Are they just going to ghost the team like Luka Dončić did? 🤷‍♀️. The front office needs to get their act together, or this season is gonna end up like all the others - disappointing 😔.
 
I don’t usually comment but I gotta say, being a fan of any team is all about hope and optimism 😊. The idea that these two players could be the difference makers for the Sky is so exciting. Olivia Miles seems like the real deal with her ball-handling skills - it would be amazing to see her help stabilize their offense. On the other hand, Awa Fam's European credentials are pretty impressive, but I don't know if another young post player is exactly what they need right now 🤔. Maybe they should just enjoy the possibilities and not get too attached to any one outcome? One thing for sure, Chicago Sky fans have been through tough times before, so holding out for miracles might just pay off in the end 💫
 
OMG, I'm literally hyped just thinking about it!!! 💥 6% chance isn't gonna scare me, we need Olivia Miles and Awa Fam on our team ASAP!!! 🤩 We've been through so much with Courtney Vandersloot's injury, but these girls would be a game-changer. I mean, Olivia can whip those passes like nobody's business 🔥 and Awa's got that EuroBasket swag 💁‍♀️. Let's hope the front office is paying attention to our pleas 🙏. The Sky has potential, we just need to believe in ourselves too 💫
 
man I feel you 🤩 like sky fans they gotta be believing hard these prospects miles fam sound legit but at the end of the day will it be enough to make them legit contenders in the league? they need some solid players to surround those twin towers angel and kamilla for sure 💪
 
omg i cant believe we might get Olivia Miles 🤩 she's like chelsea gray 2.0!!! fam would be insane tho, but u gotta question if they need another big post player rn Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso are already killing it so idk... but one thing's for sure the sky fans are holding out for miracles 💫
