I didn't see a lot of hate. I saw accurate descriptions of her play, which is fair for a D1 athlete, male or female. Maybe you saw different things than I - I never saw it get personal.
Your key word is "accurate". I would dispute that. Some posters acted like she was a turnover machine when she was not. Her assist + steals ratio to turnovers was right at 2 to 1 which is good. The "accurate" knocks against her were her inability to stop some guards from breezing by her and also her lack of being able to drive past them.
One of the commenters on Twitter was obviously ignorant of her strengths/weaknesses. That poster said it was great to get someone who "can create their own shot".
The last thing HVL could do was to create her own shot. She couldn't drive to the basket and couldn't shoot off the dribble. The shots she made I remember were spot up ones aided by passes and screens. Also, a lot of her points were made at the charity stripe where she was lights out at 83%,

The standard formula is assists to turnovers.
HVL's assist to TO ratio this year was 1.4. That's not good.

It's not inaccurate to say that she was slow-footed and got drove on constantly. They just flat ran by her.
That her shot disappeared when it was needed most.
That she wasn't strong enough to drive the lane in the SEC and can't really jump.
That she did have a lot of turnovers and they were in key moments. Timing is of the essence.
Those were the main criticisms I saw and those are fair.
I never doubted her hustle and appreciate her for her contributions as a teammate. She just wasn't on the level as a PG, which is the only hope she has for the WNBA.
I wish her well moving forward.
