The 2025 WNBA Draft was filled with potential superstars. The Dallas Wings selected former UConn star Paige Bueckers first overall. However, the talent pool was deep. Just ten picks later, Hailey Van Lith heard her name called, as the former TCU star was selected by the Chicago Sky with the 11th pick.

With new Head Coach Tyler Marsh standing by, she and fellow Sky draft picks Maddy Westbeld and Aicha Coulibaly were formally introduced.

In the days since the draft, Van Lith's popularity has continued to soar as she was introduced to the local media in Chicago on Thursday. The team also announced that Van Lith would wear No. 2 this season, not No. 10 or No. 11 like she wore in college.
