The Chicago Sky may have had a disappointing season, but Gabriel Jaquez was one of their bright spots. She proved that she deserves her No. 5 overall selection in the 2026 WNBA Draft. The team announced an update about the rookie guard on Instagram on Thursday.

Jaquez enjoyed a successful collegiate career with the UCLA Bruins from 2022 to 2026. She won the national championship last season and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors.

The 22-year-old averaged 7.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game for the Sky. She appeared in 39 regular-season games, including 18 starts. Jaquez earned more playing time as the campaign progressed, Her versatility, especially on the defensive end, will be a valuable asset for the team in the years to come.

A post shared by Chicago Sky (@chicagosky)

Chicago finished the regular season at 11th place with a 16-28 record, missing the playoffs for the third straight year. However, the future is bright as some of their young players have shown glimpses of their true potential. The front office faces a crucial offseason, with decisions to make in free agency. It won’t be long before they return to the postseason if the executives can bring in key additions to play alongside the Sky’s young core.

Jaquez will be a big part of their future, and another top pick will likely join the fold ahead of the 2027 season. The team will likely pick between No. 1 to No. 7 depending on how the lottery goes. Next year’s draft class features a wealth of talent from the collegiate ranks and international players.
