"Sky should use her more" - WNBA fans react to Kamilla Cardoso winning prestigeous honor ahead of Liz Cambage & Chennedy Carter

WNBA fans reacted to Kamilla Cardoso winning the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association International Player of the Year award. The announcement was made on Thursday, March 20 by the Chinese Women's Hoop Show on X/Twitter.

The Chicago Sky star was not alone in the contention for the award. She beat several elite WNBA stars for the recognition. Cardoso who played for the Shanghai Baoshan Dahua Swordfish beat Liz Cambage, Kalani Brown, Kelsey Mitchell, and Chennedy Carter who averaged over 30 points in the league.

Reacting to the post, some of the fans said that the recognition was great for Kamilla Cardoso's confidence ahead of the 2025 WNBA season.

"Cardoso is in supreme condition, sharp and poised for a huge season in the W," the fan wrote.

"This is wonderful... a terrific confidence boost, which is exactly what KC needs!" another fan wrote.

One of the fans suggested that the Sky should play her more in the paint, while another even suggested that the Sky should build their team around her.

"Excited to see her development once WNBA starts. Sky should use her more by freeing up the paint," the fan wrote.

"Sky should build their team around Cardoza," the fan wrote.

One fan questioned whether Kamilla Cardoso should have gotten the award over Chennedy Carter.

"I’m so happy for Kamilla but how did she get it over Chennedy?," the fan wondered.

Meanwhile, some fans suggested that Chennedy Carter would overshadow Angel Reese and she was already the best player on the Sky roster.

"She’s gonna overshadow Reese so bad this season. Lmao," the fan wrote.

"She is best player on @chicagosky too!!!!," another fan wrote.
