Ruthy Hebard – Chicago Sky

As a Duck, she averaged 16.4 points a game while contributing 9.0 rebounds and 1.17 steals per game.
While her stats in the league don’t quite meet the standard she set in college, Hebard still averages 4.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG, and 0.5 SPG. In her rookie season, she led the Sky in shooting, converting 68.2 percent of her shots from the field.
She was also the first Sky rookie to collect a double-double in a regular season game since 2018 when former Tennessee Volunteer Diamond DeShields did so.
Hebard is currently an assistant coach for the TCU Horned Frogs women’s basketball team and has played internationally in Italy and Turkey.
