Courtney Vandersloot (born February 8, 1989) is an American basketball point guard for the Chicago Sky of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and Beşiktaş in the Turkish Women's Basketball League (TKBL). The third selection in the 2011 WNBA Draft, she had a successful first season in which she was selected for the 2011 WNBA All-Star Game and named to the WNBA All-Rookie Team.
During her college career at Gonzaga University, she was the only women's player in West Coast Conference history to be named the conference's player of the year three times, and also the only player to be named MVP of the WCC Women's Tournament three times. In her final season at Gonzaga, she won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the top NCAA Division I women's player no taller than 5'8" (1.73 m) and Nancy Lieberman Award as the top player at her position in Division I women's basketball. Vandersloot is also the first Division I player, male or female, to have accumulated 2,000 points and 1,000 assists in a career, and only the second female overall (current Old Dominion head coach Karen Barefoot accomplished the feat at Division III Christopher Newport University).
