Former LSU women's basketball forward Angel Reese expressed excitement on social media about Hailey Van Lith being drafted by the Chicago Sky at No. 11 in the WNBA Draft. The two players will reunite after previously playing together at LSU and contributing to an Elite Eight run with a combined average of 30.2 points per game. Van Lith transferred from Louisville to TCU before getting drafted, improving her draft stock and now joining Reese in Chicago.
Reese's post hinted at a desire to "run it back" after falling short of their national championship goal during their time at LSU. The duo, once part of a star-studded roster dubbed a "dream team," now aims to make a title run with the Sky. The selection was celebrated by the Sky with a photo of Reese and Van Lith during their time at LSU, setting the stage for their reunion in pursuit of a WNBA championship.
