Chicago Sky 2017 season: 12–22, scoring 82.1 points per game and allowing 87.2 (-5.1 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sky finished 12–22, 10th in the league standings, with a -6.1 net rating that ranked 10th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 9th in offensive rating and 10th in defensive rating. Their calling card was outshooting opponents (50.7% eFG vs. 47.6% allowed); the soft spots, getting to the free-throw line (17.2 attempts, 12th) and turnovers (19.3 a game, 2nd-most in the league). Scoring was spread around — Allie Quigley led at 16.4 a game, but no one accounted for more than 18% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Courtney Vandersloot as the one they can least afford to lose — +15.6 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Jul 8–Jul 14) and a 24-point rout of the Lynx on Jul 8. The lows: a 5-game losing streak (May 24–Jun 6) and a 37-point loss to the Storm on Aug 20. They went 4–14 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Allie Quigley the main reason to watch and a lack of free throws the most urgent fix.
