Chicago Sky won't take the fewest 3 -pointers in the WNBA again.

The Sky tried to get by without taking 3s last season , attempting a league-low 14.9 per game.

Last year the Sky relied on one player, Marina Mabrey , for the bulk of their 3 -point shooting.

The New York Liberty more than doubled their production with 10.1 made 3s in 29 attempts per game last season .

The Sky 's new offense will be driven by a variety of simple actions that create opportunities for catch-and-shoot 3s .

The Sky ’s confidence in the passing ability of their three bigs: Cardoso, Reese and Williams .

All three are mobile frontcourt options who can make reads on the perimeter, in the midrange and with their backs to the basket.
