It was no surprise to basketball enthusiasts when the Indiana Fever chose Caitlin Clark as the top pick in the WNBA Draft. With her standout performance at Iowa, it was a widely expected move.

However, what caught many off guard was the selection of Clark’s teammate, Kate Martin, by the Las Vegas Aces in the second round. Known as “The Glue” for her cohesive presence on the Iowa team, Martin’s defensive prowess, rebounding skills, and clutch performances made her a valuable asset.

Clark expressed her delight at Martin’s draft selection, sharing a selfie with her teammate on Instagram accompanied by a heartfelt caption. Martin, speaking to ESPN after being chosen by the Aces, revealed her emotions, admitting that while she attended the draft to support Clark, she secretly hoped to hear her own name called.

With WNBA training camp set to commence on April 28, the spotlight now shifts to Martin as she prepares to make her mark in the professional league.
