She was a standout guard at Louisville and TCU, and she also overlapped with forward Angel Reese for a season at LSU. While not many expected her to be a starter, most felt that her preseason performances warranted a solid spot in the rotation.

"Yea Chicago Sky offense need some life," another fan added. "Hailey Van Lith might need some tick." "Van Lith can't be worse than these other guards," a fan chimed in.
