Just hours before the start of the 2025 WNBA Draft, Hailey Van Lith receives a touching message to help calm her nerves.
The 23-year-old has excelled in her college career and her numbers speak for themselves. Van Lith helped TCU basketball reach its first Sweet 16 in the men's and women's program history, has received positive from her head coach, Mark Campbell, and teammates, and is a queen at 3×3 for the Women's National Team with which she has won multiple medals.
Nerves take center stage in the hours leading up to the Draft and someone who loves her very much has ed her with a warm message, her dad:
After your name is called on Monday night, keep being the best version of yourself that you can be.
What is certain is that by the end of the day, Van Lith could see her dream come true and she knows she will have the unconditional of her family, and above all, her father's.
Where is the TCU star expected to land?
The Los Angeles Sparks are Hailey's strongest option, as they need her scoring accuracy. However, she could also suit up for the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark to bolster the offense.
The Phoenix Mercury, Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm are also pushing hard to have her on their rosters. The truth is that at the end of the day we will find out which jersey Van Lith will wear.
