The Chicago Sky struck gold last year when they landed the duo of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso in the first round of the WNBA Draft. Both of them took the league by storm in their first season, earning a place on the All-Rookie team for their efforts.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was named the face of the WNBA by a fan due to an eye-opening reason. After a decorated college career at LSU, the No. 7 overall pick from the 2024 WNBA Draft lived up to the hype in her rookie year.

Van Lith played with Reese at LSU for the 2023-24 season, losing in the Elite Eight to UCLA. After that season, Reese was drafted No. 7 overall and Van Lith transferred to TCU. Over the last year, the two have maintained contact with one another and Van Lith said they have “mutual respect” for each other as women and players.
