The Golden State Valkyries finally have a few players on their roster after they completed their expansion draft Friday, and they may already have a fan favorite.
The player who got the loudest cheer of the Valkyries’ 11 selections was Kate Martin, the Las Vegas Aces guard and former Iowa teammate of Caitlin Clark. Even with just one WNBA season under her belt, Martin has quickly developed a huge fan base. She did a quick interview with ESPN at the end of the network’s 30-minute special show for the draft.
