Hailey Van Lith stuns on WNBA draft red carpet, joins Chicago Sky
Hailey Van Lith, one of the most anticipated prospects in recent years, made a bold impression at the WNBA Draft, where her remarkable college career and striking fashion choices took centre stage. The WNBA Draft turned heads on Monday as Hailey Van Lith, fresh off an unforgettable season with the TCU Horned Frogs, stepped onto the orange carpet. Van Lith, who helped guide TCU to its first-ever Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, was eager to take the next step in her professional basketball journey. She was the #11 draft pick of the evening, being chosen by the Chicago Sky. Known for her stellar playmaking and leadership, Van Lith played a pivotal role in TCU's historic tournament run, averaging 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game during her senior season. A standout in both her collegiate and professional aspirations, Van Lith's move to the WNBA has long been anticipated. On the red carpet, Van Lith showcased her fashion sense in a sleek black mini dress, adorned with shimmering sequins, paired with black heels and a matching clutch. Her side-swept waves and confident look captured the attention of fans and social media alike. Van Lith's college journey saw her split time between Louisville, LSU, and TCU, but it was her final year with the Horned Frogs that cemented her status as one of the top players in women's college basketball. Throughout her career, she averaged 15.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, a testament to her versatility and all-around game. Reactions poured in from across the internet. Netizens were equally impressed by her style as they were with her being drafted to Chicago Sky. I was not familiar with her game. — Fred Mahomes (@freddy2chains) April 14, 2025 They will win a championship in 2 years! @Reese10Angel don't let Hailey Van Lith down!!! — NewYorkWill (@YankeesFan845) April 15, 2025 Yeah this hard. Chicago said they don't need to win. They just need the sponsorships. — Keenan (@KeenanRIVALS) April 15, 2025 Others, however, were less positive on the move. Feel sorry for her. She looks like she's going to cry — dominic (@biggus_maximus) April 15, 2025 Hvl gonna suffer. Chicago is not a good fit. Hope she gets cut and goes to a better team — h (@someraindrop695) April 15, 2025 Likely WNBA bench player if she even makes a roster. — Scott Han (@HanSeongBok) April 14, 2025 I do not think she's happy about that selection. — Shark (@sharkiowa) April 15, 2025 With the WNBA Draft now behind her, all eyes are on Van Lith as she prepares to take the professional stage by storm. Fans and analysts alike are excited to see what the future holds for the talented guard who's sure to make a lasting impact in the league.

Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark NFL sighting draws criticism from Skip Bayless
Sports commentator Skip Bayless sparked controversy after criticizing WNBA star Caitlin Clark for attending an NFL game with Taylor Swift. The Indiana Fever player was spotted with the global pop icon at Arrowhead Stadium during the Kansas City Chiefs' AFC Divisional matchup against the Houston Texans. Bayless, known for his outspoken opinions, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his disapproval of the pairing. "WAIT, CAITLIN CLARK IS UP IN THE ARROWHEAD BOX WITH TAYLOR SWIFT??? CAITLIN, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SEEN WITH HER. YOU'RE BIGGER THAN SHE IS. JUST STAY ON YOUR OWN PATH," he posted. The sighting of Clark, a rising basketball star, alongside Swift, who has been a consistent presence at NFL games since her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce became public, quickly drew widespread attention online. Fans of both figures dismissed Bayless' comments, praising Clark and Swift for enjoying the game together. While Bayless fanned the flames of debate, neither Clark nor Swift has responded publicly. The Chiefs continued their winning streak, defeating the Texans 23-14, securing a spot in the AFC Championship on January 26. Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, is gearing up for the upcoming WNBA season. Her Indiana Fever will face Angel Reese's Chicago Sky on May 17, in what promises to be a highly anticipated season opener. The Chiefs, aiming for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl win, will face either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills in their quest to make NFL history.
