Blood, lots of blood.Wow. Chicago get 6'7" Kamilla Cardoso at pick #3 and 6'3" Angel Reese at pick #7.
Thoughts on this interesting, incredibly fascinating development?
Taylor to Indiana. Great pick imo. Fair still hasn't been picked, lol. It's the tux.
Yep, they sure look like they don't want her...Lolo
Shit, they're going on a hell of a ride as well....
That’s the first thing I noticed when she first came out.
Kate Martin, second round pick and pairing with Meg in Vegas! Shockingly high pick by the champs!
It is REALLY hard for a 2nd rounder to make a team.
Just 144 jobs (12 roster spots x 12 teams)

#1 and #18 overall picks of the 2024 Draft
Obviously happy for CC and hope she rips up the league, but goddamned that’s awesome to see Kate go!!!!
I don't think she did either.
Kate Martin played with Gustafson, didn't she?
I feel bad for Elizabeth Kitley of Virginia Tech. She went down w/ an ACL tear last month and is the last pick of the 2nd round.
Yep. ‘18-‘19 Elite 8 squad.
Kate Martin was known as "the glue" during her six years in Iowa City: a tireless, consummate leader who did whatever her team needed her to do to be successful. She was a master of the little things at Iowa, scrambling for loose balls, tipping rebounds to teammates, making the extra pass and leading vocally.
Now Martin will look to take those skills to the next level. On Monday, the Las Vegas Aces selected Martin with the sixth pick of the 2nd round (18th overall).
Martin was a fixture in the Iowa lineup for the past five seasons, starting 30+ games in each of the past four seasons. Martin's best season was her most recent campaign; she averaged 13.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 2.3 apg, while shooting a career-best 50.7% from the floor (and 37% from 3-point range).
A quintessential stat-sheet stuffer, Martin did a little bit of everything during her Hawkeye career and became the first Iowa player ever to finish with 900+ points, 500+ rebounds, 400+ assists, 120+ steals, and 60+ blocks for her career. Whatever you needed from Martin in a given situation -- a bucket, a rebound, an assist, a steal, a block -- she was liable to provide it.

Kate Martin Selected in 2nd Round of the 2024 WNBA Draft
Kate Martin became the 2nd Iowa player taken in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
So happy for Kate. I really hope she's able to get a spot on the team. And now she's a teammate of Megan!
Las Vegas Aces drafted two centers, Kitley from Va Tech in round two and Angel Jackson from Jackson State in round three. Kitley is hurt until 2025. Megan has more competition but I think she will be fine.
So great to see Kate get the opportunity.
That game sequence in the 4th quarter of the UConn game was a pretty nice closing sales pitch!
