In her last 10 games, Reese has 18.6 points per game. However, despite her best efforts, the Chicago Sky have been lackluster in her output. They are the 12th team on the standings with a 7-19 record.

Chicago Sky rookie reveals how Angel Reese motivates her

Chicago Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith is one of the promising talents from this year's draft class. While her fellow rookies, Paige Bueckers, Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron have already started playing bigger roles in their teams, Van Lith has had a more standard rookie experience.

The former Horned Frog has come off the bench in 21 games for her team and has let the senior players handle the task. However, Van Lith has learned a lot from being on the bench. On Thursday, she appeared on Bleacher Report's Film Study show as a guest.

Renne Montgomery, the show's host, asked Van Lith about her and Reese's connection, and the Sky rookie praised the forward's playmaking skills and revealed that Reese yells at her to motivate her.

"I know Angel’s game pretty well now, so I know whenever I give it to her, she’s a very willing passer,” she said. “And especially with me, she’s always yelling at me to knock 3s down. So whenever she has the ball and I’m in the vicinity, I’m 100% moving my feet to try and get a window to be open, because I know that she’s looking for me." (7:10)
