However, she was seen as likely to be one of the top seven picks, and was ultimately picked third overall by the Chicago Sky. One indicator of her likely draft position was that Indiana Fever coach Lin Dunn, whose team needed depth at point guard going into the 2011 season, signed Shannon Bobbitt in February, convinced that Vandersloot would be picked before the Fever’s turn at #9. John Stockton gave Vandersloot high praise, stating, “I don’t want to dramatize it too much but she’s like Gretzky in hockey. There is something that separates Courtney from others. [Adam] Morrison [a recent Gonzaga men’s standout] was a little bit the same way.”
