Katie Lou has been a favorite since early high school days. She just had the bad luck of being drafted by a coach who actually had no plans to use her (Chicago Sky). After being drafted 4th, this effected her confidence severely. Then she was traded to the Dallas Wings and had the misfortune to play with Arike and yet another idiot coach. They didn't really need her and she was traded to the Seattle Storm to play with Stewie (because of Stewie's influence) following a successful season in Europe playing with sister Karlie. She finally became a starter in the WNBA. But Seattle was short lived, Stewie left for NY, KLS lost her spot on the Olympic 3x3 team because she contacted COVID (that was heartbreaking) at the last minute, and then she was traded to the LA Sparks. This past season in Indiana she was a complete bust! She consistently couldn't handle passes from Clark, didn't score much, didn't play much defense (if any), and seemingly wouldn't fight for rebounds. When she lost her starter position it, was over for her in Indiana. Katie Lou's forte has always been her ability to score 3s. She had more scoring abilities than that, but actually stopped showing them following her junior season here at UConn (except, on occasion, when playing in Europe). She's still young enough to be an asset to some team in the W, but she's going to have to really want it. To this point, she's never shown that she does. That's very sad!
