Four years can seem like forever in sports. And so it is that the soaring optimism of the 2013 WNBA draft probably feels like quite a long time ago to Chicago fans. That year, the Sky drafted Elena Delle Donne, adding her considerable talents to a Pokey Chatman-coached team that also had center Sylvia Fowles, forward Swin Cash, and guards Epiphanny Prince and Courtney Vandersloot. Talk about a perfect fit; the 6-foot-5 guard/forward Delle Donne was exactly what the Sky needed.
Now, just before the 2017 WNBA draft, Vandersloot is the only one of that group who's still with Chicago.
