The flurry of WNBA free agency left only one veteran star in Chicago: Kahleah Copper.
The roster upheaval lays a rare opportunity in front of Copper — at 28, she has a chance to mold the identity of the Sky. But it also was an emotional period for Copper as she watched three of her closest mentors leave the team they built together.
This will be her first season at the helm as the Sky’s veteran leader. It’s a challenge she feels well-prepared to embrace. Copper said that incident was a sign both players are eager to compete, whether against each other or side by side.Outside of the free-agency shake-up, Copper said this offseason has been personally transformative as she focuses on her growth rather than playing in Europe. Opportunities such as this week’s minicamp with the national team allow Copper to absorb guidance from top players around the league, including Diana Taurasi and Angel McCoughtry, as well as coach Cheryl Reeve.
