Reese's stardom and the rivalry with Clark is good for the team and the league, but she's not preoccupied by any of that. She's in pursuit of the playoffs and eventually a championship.

Chicago signed WNBA champion Courtney Vandersloot and traded for Ariel Atkins. However, the recipe for success lies in the development of Reese and her front court mate, Kamilla Cardoso.

Reese and Cardoso should benefit from playing with Vandersloot, an accomplished point guard who has the second-most assists in WNBA history.
