Following the first day of WNBA training camp, they tested their chemistry in a video released by the Sky.

Reese is seen in the video playing more of a perimeter position, handling the ball and distributing, while Cardoso is seen rolling to the rim and finishing layups. In one sequence, she set up her Brazilian colleague for a layup, leaving Chicago supporters hankering after more of the potent duo.

Since high school, the two first-round selections have been in competition with one another. At the NCAA level, when Reese’s LSU and Cardoso’s South Carolina both won national titles, they carried on the rivalry. It’s a change from slamming into each other in the paint booth to collaborate, but the results thus far are encouraging.
