A look at Courtney Vandersloot’s College and Professional Career

“Sloot is Chicago,” basketball veteran and ex-teammate Candace Parker summed up the Gonzaga alum’s impact in three words. Even before her her 12-year stint with the Chicago Sky ended in 2022. Needless to say, Courtney Vandersloot is the identity of Sky and a stabilising force for a comparatively young roster.

Vandersloot began her collegiate career with Gonzaga Bulldogs. The phenom immediately came off the bench and averaged 10.3 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.9 steals during the West Coast Conference and was crowned Freshman of the Year for her remarkable performances. She graduated with a retired jersey and a three-time consecutive MVP honours.

Once inducted in the pros, her immaculate court vision and high basketball IQ provided Chicago Sky with an edge over their opponents. Despite boasting veterans like Rebecca Allen and Kia Nurse, Sky hit a blow when Vandersloot progressed to New York Liberty in 2023. As the most experienced player in the Liberty’s roster, Vandersloot became the second player in the league’s history to score 4000+ points with 2500+ assists under the team.

Moreover, the overall 3rd draft pick even surpassed her wife Allie Quigley this season. She made a career high as she scored 3,745 points for the franchise. Her wife, Quigley had held the title with the maximum of 3,723 points for Chicago Sky. But with Vandersloot sidelined for the entire season, it will be crucial for the roster to step up their playmaking abilities ahead of the game against Liberty.
