Chennedy Carter was arguably the Chicago Sky's main offensive outlet during the 2024 season. She averaged 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game on 48.7% shooting from the field. However, despite her great individual brilliance, Chicago did not retain her for another year.

WNBA analyst believes Sky's first mistake was letting Chennedy Carter walk away

Chennedy Carter was a great weapon for the Chicago Sky in the 2024 season. However, the franchise let her go even after she proved her offensive prowess every week. On Sept. 6, Sports Illustrated's Hans Themistode identified letting Carter go as the Sky's first mistake in a season that went terribly for them.

Themistode described his thoughts on Carter's absence from the lineup despite the guard's great performance in the season prior.

"Playing in the league isn’t about being nice. Carter never cared for it either. Her teammates loved and respected her. Not only because of her ability on the court, but also because they knew she had their back," He wrote. "Atkins, undoubtedly, has been good this year, but she hasn’t been able to produce at the level of Carter, averaging just a shade over 13 points a game."

Later, he pointed out that a lack of offensive efforts from the guards on the Sky roster was one of the primary reasons for the franchise's 12th-place finish in the standings this season.
