Hailey Van Lith and Angel Reese are set to rejoin forces on the court this summer.

The Chicago Sky ensured that would happen Monday night when they picked her No. 11 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Shortly after Van Lith heard her name called, Reese took to social media to express her excitement.

“We ain’t do it right the first time,” Reese wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Let’s run it backkkkk.”

The feeling was mutual.

“Excited to be around her again,” Van Lith said.

In the 2023-24 season, Van Lith and Reese were teammates at LSU. Their journey together came to an end in the Elite Eight where they were defeated by UCLA. Following that season, Reese was selected as the No. 7 overall pick in the draft while Van Lith decided to transfer 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.

“We have a lot of similarities with how we carry ourselves and our mindset,” Van Lith said. “She’s a dog, man. She turns up her intensity with everyone around her so I’m excited to be in that environment with her again, where she can pull more out of me than I think I have.”

Van Lith was the second of back-to-back picks the Sky had in Monday’s draft. Chicago picked Slovenian forward Ajša Sivka with the No. 10 pick.
