Kate Martin, who starred at the University of lowa alongside Caitlin Clark back in college, was selected in the second round – No. 18th overall of this year’s WNBA draft and has become a valuable piece for the Aces in its rotation off the bench.
She has played in five of the team’s six games so far and has been good for 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21 minutes per game.
On Wednesday against the Minnesota Lynx on the road, Martin once again performed well, playing 22 minutes and going 3-of-6 from 3 to finish with nine points, three rebounds and two assists to help her team to an 80-66 victory.
Las Vegas currently leads the Western Conference with a 4-1 win-loss card.
Kate Martin settling well as Aces’ role player for now
A starter for much of her standout collegiate career with the lowa Hawkeyes, Kate Martin has found herself playing as a role player for the back-to-back WNBA champions in her rookie season. She, however, has no qualms about it and said she is settling well.
In an interview with The Gazette, she highlighted how the team’s expectations of her were clear after getting drafted No. 18.
The 23-year-old guard said:
“They said, ‘You were drafted here for a reason. You don’t have to be anybody else, you don’t have to show out.”She went on to say that in a team full of stars, she was just asked to fill up the gaps in between, something she does not mind doing at this stage of her career:
“There are amazing players, star players, Olympic players on this roster. My role is to be a role player, someone who is going to support her teammates every day.”
Kate Martin is one of four players selected in the second round this season that made it to the roster of the team that selected them. The others were Dyaisha Fair (Aces), Nika Muhl (Seattle Storm) and Celeste Taylor (Indiana Fever). Fair, however, was recently waived by the Aces.
