Angel Reese Fans GO WILD After Chicago Sky GM Reveals Bold Draft Move That Could Supercharge the Team!
CHICAGO — Buckle up, WNBA fans. The Chicago Sky just flipped the script and made a draft move so bold, it’s sending shockwaves through the league—and lighting up Angel Reese Nation with pure electricity.
With the 11th pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Sky selected Haley Van Lith—a move that some saw coming, but no one could’ve predicted would cause this much noise. It’s official: Angel Reese has her partner-in-crime, and this might be the beginning of a dangerous new era for the Windy City.
“We Ain’t Do It Right the First Time… Let’s Run It Back.” – Angel Reese
Reese wasted no time reacting to the pick. The moment Van Lith’s name was called, she took to X (formerly Twitter) with a message that said it all:
“We ain’t do it right the first time… Let’s run it back.”
Fans went crazy.
Let’s not forget: Angel and Haley were teammates at LSU. That team was STACKED—with names like Flau’jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow, and Kateri Poole. But chemistry issues and coaching limitations held them back. Now? New city, new coach, new system—and a shot at redemption.
And if you were paying attention, Angel Reese was dropping hints the whole time.
“HVL, HVL, HVL…” she kept saying during live streams and interviews.
She knew something. And now we all do.

Why This Pick Is More Than Just a Reunion

Haley Van Lith isn’t just a name. She’s a walking bucket. After transferring to TCU last season, HVL reminded everyone exactly who she is:
-
18 PPG
-
45% FG
-
33% 3PT
-
82% FT
-
Career-high 5.4 assists per game
She may not be a lockdown defender—but the girl can hoop. And now, under new head coach Teresa Witherspoon and offensive-minded assistant Tyler Marsh, this team is clearly gearing up to run, gun, and light up scoreboards.
“We want to score the ball a lot,” Marsh said earlier this year. Well… now they’ve got the pieces.
The Streets Are Talking—And Angel Might’ve Made the Call
Let’s be real: this wasn’t just a front office decision. Rumors are already swirling that Angel Reese herself may have influenced this pick. A phone call here. A text there. A vision shared with GM Jeff Pagliocca.
Whether it’s true or not, one thing’s clear—Angel Reese wanted HVL in Chicago.
“Allegedly, Angel put the call in,” fans are saying. “She wanted H-V-L on this team. And it HAPPENED.”

Fans Divided, But the Real Ones Are ALL IN

Not everyone is sold. Critics point to HVL’s rocky fit at LSU. Her defensive limitations. The way she struggled against elite guards like Caitlin Clark.
But others are saying: Hold up. That system didn’t showcase her. And now she’s in a new environment—one tailored for her strengths.
“Don’t jump off the bandwagon now,” said one fan. “When HVL starts cooking, don’t act like you were always here.”
The Sky Just Got Dangerous
Angel Reese is already a breakout star. HVL has a chip on her shoulder and something to prove. Add in shooters, athleticism, and a coaching staff ready to let them fly?
This might be the most exciting duo the WNBA didn’t see coming.
Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is undeniable: the Sky just dropped a roster bombshell. And Angel Reese fans? They’re not just buzzing.
They’re ready for TAKEOFF.
