<p>ATLANTA — Another day, another beat down, this time at the hands of the Dream.</p><p>Despite the rough finish to the season, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-sky" target="_blank" >Sky</a> center <b>Kamilla Cardoso</b> remains confident about where the team is headed next year.</p><p>“I think we have a great squad,” she told the Sun-Times. “I think injuries messed us up a little bit, but I believe we have a great squad to make it to the playoffs and win a championship.”</p><p>Cardoso will enter the final year of her rookie contract next season. A championship is almost certainly still a ways off, but the Sky should benefit from better health and another year of development for their young core.</p><p>First, they must decide who will oversee that development.</p><p>Coach <b>Tyler Marsh</b> has been on the hot seat given the team was expected to make the playoffs. But Cardoso, who has praised Marsh’s offensive system throughout the season, gave him a vote of confidence.</p><p>“I think Tyler is an amazing coach,” she said. “I think he’s doing a great job and everything that he possibly can to help us. I do think he’s the right fit and I’m really excited to see what the future holds.”</p><p>If Marsh returns for a third season, he’ll have plenty of continuity to work with. Nine of the 13 players on the roster are under contract, and the Sky will have two first-round draft picks, one from the Dream and one from the Mystics.</p><p>The key will be making sure their young talent takes another step.</p><p>Cardoso had her best season yet, averaging 14.7 points and 8.7 rebounds, but parts of her game remain raw. She still doesn’t shoot much outside the paint, and foul trouble hurts her defensively.</p><p>This offseason, Cardoso is going to play in Project B, the five-on-five touring league launching in January. Before then, she’ll spend a few weeks at home in Brazil, then return to Chicago to train before Project B begins.</p><p><b>Respectable rookies</b></p><p>Three rookies in the starting lineup offered some support for Cardoso’s optimism. With veterans managing their injuries, rookies <b>Aicha Coulibaly</b> and <b>Gabriela Jaquez </b>made the most of their starts.</p><p>Coulibaly scored 11 points in the first half, continuing to show more polish on her drives. Jaquez<b> </b>looked more like the player from her first 15 games and finished with 14 points and 2 steals.</p><p>“Just being aggressive, trying to help the team win,” Jaquez said of her performance.</p><p>But the wheels came off when the Dream turned up the pressure in the second half, and the Sky fell 106-to-81.</p><p>Turnovers and poor three-point shooting once again hurt the Sky. So did their former star, <b>Angel Reese, </b>who<b> </b>scored 23 points on 9-13 shooting.</p><p><b>Taylor troubles</b></p><p>Taylor had another rough night. She picked up three early fouls and finished with two points on 1-8 shooting.</p><p>“I think one of Sydney’s growth areas is just not getting distracted when [her] shot’s not falling,” Marsh said. “There’s other ways that she can continue to be effective.”</p><p>Taylor did show off some nifty playmaking with two highlight-reel passes in the first half, but overall the Dream’s physicality gave her trouble.</p>
