It’s crazy, she started saying ‘“They have…” regarding The Aces…but now quickly switched her words to “We, have…”
That’s freakin’ amazing!!! Go Kate! And she balled out in that preseason game!
To make the roster on such a stacked Aces team is truly an accomplishment!!
She is a baller and a smart basketball player.
This is the exact same sentiment i could not find the words to express earlier. To make the cut in a Champ team says a lot about the fiber Kate herself is made of. Congrats, Kate!!!
Way to go Kate. No surprise to us!
Iowa WBB season ticket holder here. Congratulations Kate. You were a joy to watch at Iowa, now will have to make a few road trips. Kudos to Megan Guftason as well. I grew up in Wisconsin and Megan was special also.
What’s not to love about Kate? A great teammate and selfless player. Wishing you nothing but the best, you earned it!
This is such a great story. She wasn't invited, but went to the draft to hang out with her best friend Caitlin Clark. But not only did she wind up getting drafted, but earned a roster spot on defending champion Aces. I was really hoping the fever with pick her with their second pick, not because she was CC's teammate in Iowa, but because she's a great baller. PERIOD.
On May 25th 2024,the Aces play the Fever! Caitlin and Kate are best friends.
I’m an LSU fan, NCAAW basketball fan and WNBA fan. I feel so excited for this class. Kate Martin, is a favorite of mine and so happy for her. Angel Reese is my girl but all the women playing basketball have brought so much joy to me. Congrats Kate. Go get em. I’m a big Aces fan too.
I am proud of you Kate!!! i will follow you through your WNBA career. ❤❤❤
Wow, the Cait and Kate show continues! Kate is blessed to be in the top team, while Cait has to level up her team. Hope they remain best buddies. Congratulations also to Dyaisha. Hawkeye fan here from Asia.
Way to go, Kate! You’re special and I’m glad the Aces know it!
I'm happy for Kate!! Congratulations!!
So happy for Kate!
From never watching a WNBA game now I have to juggle 3 teams fever aces storm. It’s fantastic that I don’t have to wait long. Season starts tomorrow and I’m super excited to see how these players impact the league Kate money Martin. Caitlin Clark, nika Muhl. It’s must see tv. Angel Reese is going to be a monster.
Congratulations Kate! Can’t wait to watch the fever and aces games!
Congratulations Kate! Great team and the best coach in the WNBA.

Really, proud of Kate…hard work pays off. Humble and taking it day by day. Well earned and deserved!!❤
Congratulations on making the roster. Will be supporting you but when you play Clark I have to support her. Go Aces
Kate was deadset on making it on a roster if she was given the opportunity. I knew she would do it. I screamed when she went 2nd round for the aces
Congrats Kate. You’re my super star. I believed in you all the way.
Way to go Kate!!!! Welcome to the best team EVER!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Kate!
Awesome Kate, Congrats! I'm looking forward to watching you in the WNBA!! Go Aces!!!
I am an indiana fan but I am happy that iowas Kate made the roster. Great competitor and bball player.
The amount of time she spent in the Children's Hospital spoke volumes ........ no fanfare about it ....just HER
All of Iowa is so proud of you, Money Martin!

Way to go Kate I knew you would do it your amazing now go play some ball I'm looking forward to watching you
Congratulations Kate! We are so glad you were talked into staying that extra year.
Yay!!! So happy for you! I will be watching you and the WNBA
You are amazing, Kate! So happy for you. Well deserved. Keep pushing forward!♥
awesome! I love following all the Hawkeye players (men and women) who make it to the pro ranks in their sports. I really don't have favorite pro teams, I just root for the team that has a hawkeye on their roster, or in some situations, whichever team has the most hawkeyes on the roster. Because of Kate and Caitlin I subscribed to the WNBA League Pass to be able to better follow these two awesome Hawkeye B ballers.
Congratulations! Your hard work, determination, and attitude have put you where you are. You have made Iowa proud!
Hurray for Kate!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile Fevers Sides looks and acts like shes been in constant combat for 4 years! Martin really lucked out getting drafted by the Aces ! I'm so happy for her! ❤
I called it. I said with Candice Parker retired,it will open up a spot and improved Kate martian chances of making the team.
Honestly if Parker stayed it probably would've been Emma who wasn't brought on
"Control the contollables." I like that.
Congratulations
The Kate Martin Effect !❤
Well done, Kate!
Very nice!
I admire the inherent humility of this lady in spite of her being one of the great collegiate basketball players. I’m sure she would create a name in the WNBA too. Good luck Kate and may God always bless and guide you.
Congratulations Kate!!🎉
Congratulations, well done. Not easy to make the roster of a WNBA championship team.
Very happy for her anybody that understands basketball realizes how long a shot this was. Good luck in the season.
The press guy telling her about Iowa coach retiring is crazyyyyyyyyy for that.
Congrats she deserves it!!!
Kate so proud of you. Fan from SWFL Grandpa Jimmy ❤
Congrats Kate! You have talent! I hoped you would play in the W! Much love! ❤️ 🤗
I'm a Caitlin Clark fever fan Indiana fever but there are so much talent in this league and Kate's awesome congrats
you go Kate Martin!
Ironically, Kate now has a better chance of securing a Championship medal than Caitlin Clark 😇 But I admire and love both of them 🌹❤️ speaking from Asia here 💪🙏

You deserve it Kate, you're a baller.
