I think the fact is she went there to support her teammate Caitlyn Clark and ultimately to her surprise ended up getting drafted is the icing on the cake. She probably wasn't expecting it cause the slots is so low compared to the male NBA drafts.
@@mc2ryan100 sadly true. Unfortunately it's up to the people in the states of WNBA teams. The franchise's go by the amount of revenue they generate per year off of sales. That's including ticket sales, jersey sales, marketing, etc so they can't compete with the NBA because majority of the fans not only national but worldwide are mostly NBA fans.
@@onlythetruth333 She might be going to UNC for grad school and I beleive she will have one more year of eligibility, so maybe we might see her again. That would be something, she get selected to the draft next year....
That was great to watch the excitement of those who love Kate the most!!?? They've been her biggest fans not only for the last couple of years but her entire life!!! I'm sure her parents and family are so proud of all she's already done!!!
Well deserved. Congratulations, Kate! I heard Mrs. Martin this morning (4/16/24) on the Dwyer & Michaels show. You all rock! Whenever the Aces play the Fever, I will be totally cheering for both teams.
Kate Martin has skills. She was overshadowed by CC. She rebounds well, plays good defense, and has a good medium-range shot. She can play guard or small forward. If she makes the team, she will be a WNBA champion if the Aces repeat. ❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed Kate Martin's style of play and her winning personality: so talented, likable, good character. As a fellow Illinois native I was hoping she would be drafted by the Fever so she and CC, aka, "Frick and Frack" to me, could do their "thing" on the court. Well, we have to wait until May 25th when their teams meet in pre-season...should be interesting.
That’s awesome that she was drafted so high. I’m not sure when that hockey game took place but it looks like as soon as she was drafted they changed the channel to something else.
When you strive for goals, you put it all out there, you succeed. And she will make it in the WNBA. If she can take a pass from Caitlin, she can take one from Plum
That's funny, I was just thinking she looks just like her dad! Maybe she has her mom's nose, but her dad's eyes. Regardless, she's lovely and an awesome player! I wish her all the success in the world!
WOW LAS VEGAS ACES HAVE THE BEST STARTING 5 EVER AND NOW THEY ADD KATE MARTIN WHO WAS THE 2ND BEST PLAYER ON IOWA WOMEN TEAM AFTER CAITLIN CLARK, KATE DOES EVERYTHING WELL,SUCH A WELL-ROUNDED PLAYER AND EVERY GAME I WATCHED HER. SHE GIVES HER ALL ON EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME, KATE SHOULD HAVE A LONG CAREER!!! WHAT A PLAYER!!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@Waresy23 she used the word “literally” which means that she *is* that lady in the video. It it unfortunate to me that recent modern usage of this word is completely wrong and so the meaning of the word is lost. And this is a perfect example.
I love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉 I hope Kate does great things as a pro. I hope Gabbie, our sweetheart, has a great future in what she does as a professional. Well, ALL the Iowa girls.
Congratulations Kate, you've made the Quad Cities, Hawk Nation, and all your fans so very proud. Continued success and can't wait to witness the next steps in your journey.
when I heard the name Kate.... I looked up at my screen and thought , say it say it, MARTIN, I cheered, and Im just a fan. Her family, God bless them, soared with pride for their daughter.
@WQAD ABC NEWS 8 It's too darn bad they won't even consider having a WNBA team for the 12,000 seat arena there in Moline, Illinois in the Quad Cities area that's regionally near Iowa City.
Happy for Kate for sure. Honestly, I have long believed she would be in Las Vegas to attend training and exercises at Nellie’s Air Force Base. She has the qualities that lead me to think she would make a superior Air Force or Naval aviator. She has the leadership, team, situational and circumstantial awareness that make great fighter pilots. USAF/USN ‘72-‘80.
it's going 2b interesting if Ms. Kate Martin could level up on d CUTTER department (2B able 2 penetrate d paint n do leftright rightleft dribble fade away jump shots N mid-range jump shots or fade away jump shots). yeah, like millions of us who became curious of watching CC, we're hooked.
If by chance she doesn't make the squad with the aces, please consider signing with the fever if offered or possible.. Indiana is Crazy about bball 🏀 and her and CC would help sell out indy 😊.
gotta try out it’s limited spots and teams. like 5+ first round pics ain’t make roster just last year. iowa center from last year got drafted then waived
If Iowa ALL-AMERICANS Gustafson and Czinano got cut after being drafted, sorry to break it you, Martin has ABSOLUTELY ZERO chance of EVER playing in the WNBA

That was the best part of the 2024 draft!
Sweet! Looks like Kate has a supportive family.
Happy that she earned this opportunity.
Best part, she was just there to support CC.
I think the fact is she went there to support her teammate Caitlyn Clark and ultimately to her surprise ended up getting drafted is the icing on the cake. She probably wasn't expecting it cause the slots is so low compared to the male NBA drafts.
Kate is a good player and can come in off the bench for Plum, Grey, or Jackie. I feel bad for Gabby now even though she's moving on for basketball.
@@LL-pe4ou that is a good point. Gabby did play a solid role in Iowa's success especially with her defense and three pointers. Damn....
I can't wait until they expand the league, there are a lot of talented players out there whose careers ends in college.

Huge congratulations to Kate! She was heavily instrumental in Iowa's successes, especially late in the final weeks!!
Kate’s mom is the midwestern mom we all need…. In a different interview she said she was so proud to be Kate’s mom. I cried. That was so sweet.
Well deserved. Congratulations, Kate! I heard Mrs. Martin this morning (4/16/24) on the Dwyer & Michaels show. You all rock! Whenever the Aces play the Fever, I will be totally cheering for both teams.
The lady on the far right lol, I absolutely love it! Congrats Kate! More than deserved. 💪💪
Kate is awesome! Her turn around fade was special!
I think special is that spin move of hers. Killer!
Kate Martin has skills. She was overshadowed by CC. She rebounds well, plays good defense, and has a good medium-range shot. She can play guard or small forward. If she makes the team, she will be a WNBA champion if the Aces repeat. ❤❤❤❤
Great Good luck to Kate!

My favorite Iowa player!!! She's a BEAST! Congratulations Kate!!!
Go Kate!!! Let's go Aces! ❤❤❤❤
Congrats Kate❤❤❤❤ and the whole Martin Family!
Wonderful family. Kate is a good girl and a great player.
That’s awesome that she was drafted so high. I’m not sure when that hockey game took place but it looks like as soon as she was drafted they changed the channel to something else.
Hockey came on after the draft on espn. I watched till the end.
When you strive for goals, you put it all out there, you succeed. And she will make it in the WNBA. If she can take a pass from Caitlin, she can take one from Plum
So awesome. Katie look like mom.
That's funny, I was just thinking she looks just like her dad! Maybe she has her mom's nose, but her dad's eyes. Regardless, she's lovely and an awesome player! I wish her all the success in the world!
She looks like a total cross between mom and dad
@@goldbrick2563 think you're right
I'm so happy for Kate!!!
She would be a great role player for the Aces, no doubt about that! It is already a Championship team so hopefully she can make the cut.

😂😂😂her mom’s reaction, she was so happy 😁. 😂😂😂
Kate is a quality person. Congratulations
the Dog knew the pick was coming 🤜👍
I am happy she got selected because she was factor in Iowa going to through tournament.
The girl on the right was literally me 😂
So cool that you were there!
@@Waresy23 haha noooooo I mean I reacted like that. But I feel like you’re being sarcastic but impossible to say for sure 😂
@@mag07226 I really thought you were there. 🤣

@@stevethompson210 Agreed. That's why I thought it was her.
I wish her success. She was a real solid player and a great leader. She has a nice looking jump shot.
That garage looks legit. Family style. Congrats!
Way to go girl🤙🏽
She’s a real good basketball player! She’s going to be great in the WNBA!! Good luck Kate!
I love this!
One of the steals of the draft.
SHE’S THE BIGGEST WINNER THIS DRAFT SHE’S ON A WINNING TEAM 💯‼️
I love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉 I hope Kate does great things as a pro. I hope Gabbie, our sweetheart, has a great future in what she does as a professional. Well, ALL the Iowa girls.
Vegas loves Kate
Congrats Girl as a gamecock fan I wish you the best!
Strong Like! 👍
Awesome!

So happy for her 🎉🎉🎉
Didn't know Las Vegas had such a good team.
Hey news guys, what are bags? is that the same as corn hole? never heard the term bags before
WELL DESERVED KATE. GO BALL AT THE NEXT LEVEL CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU PLAY AGAINST CC22🐐 INDIANA FEVER!
Players play, players rise to meet challenges - good and bad, Kate Martin is that player.
She’s a very good basketball player.
Congrats Kate! 🎉🎉
Her and Clark where the best duo in women’s college basketball in history
Didn't know the WNBA was worth watching since college is more popular. 😂
@WQAD ABC NEWS 8
It's too darn bad they won't even consider having a WNBA team for the 12,000 seat arena there in Moline, Illinois in the Quad Cities area that's regionally near Iowa City.
SO happy for Kate! Might have to catch an Aces/Fever game to see the Hawks play!
Happy for Kate for sure. Honestly, I have long believed she would be in Las Vegas to attend training and exercises at Nellie’s Air Force Base. She has the qualities that lead me to think she would make a superior Air Force or Naval aviator. She has the leadership, team, situational and circumstantial awareness that make great fighter pilots. USAF/USN ‘72-‘80.
And she made the team!!!
After viewing Kate's games, I thought she had a good chance of hearing her name. Happy for her.
We love Kate Martin
it's going 2b interesting if Ms. Kate Martin could level up on d CUTTER department (2B able 2 penetrate d paint n do leftright rightleft dribble fade away jump shots N mid-range jump shots or fade away jump shots). yeah, like millions of us who became curious of watching CC, we're hooked.
She so earned the chance to be a Professional player, I hope she makes it, great young lady.
wholesome crew.
Now. Get Kate to Indiana!!!!!
She is a great competitor!!
That's gotta be the greatest thing that ever happened to her family, ever.
It’s a huge deal! I would go crazy!
I love kate martin
Kats is the ultimate team player.
Nobody was able to match the energy of the lady to the right. Not even her parents
I feel like they were sad she has to move far away
Love it!
If by chance she doesn't make the squad with the aces, please consider signing with the fever if offered or possible.. Indiana is Crazy about bball 🏀 and her and CC would help sell out indy 😊.
Dad seems real excited
Their garage...looks better than most people houses!!
Kate could not have landed in a better spot with Becky. Only problem is they have all real good back court guards which limits her chance to showcase
They clearky didn't know.
You can tell that Kate's Mom was NOT happy that her baby girl is headed to Las Vegas (Sin City).
My dream is for Kate and Caitlin on same team again. SOON
Dad ain't gonna live that one down at family parties lol
Awesome !!!
Kate Martin is very special! She will come into her own being out of the shadow of Caitlin Clark.
So being drafted doesnt mean she made the team?
gotta try out it’s limited spots and teams. like 5+ first round pics ain’t make roster just last year. iowa center from last year got drafted then waived
but we rooting for kate!
What a wonderful honor.
Dad comes trotting in and almost knocks dude over sitting in the chair 😂
You gotta love it
So happy to see kate make it to nba
Get a little choked up watching this. Unexpected but well deserved.
Come to charlotte 🔥
Congratulations now U all up there in I O W A should be convincing Ms Marshall she belongs in the WNBA HELLO from MISSOURI
Dad hears the screams and runs in.
She can hoop.
Let's keep her out of the casinos. Lol, jk. Congrats to the Martins!
Who's the chick in front lmao she hardly moved
It was her mom! Parents look young...and not that excited. Must be low key midwesterners? Idk i aint from that area
If Iowa ALL-AMERICANS Gustafson and Czinano got cut after being drafted, sorry to break it you, Martin has ABSOLUTELY ZERO chance of EVER playing in the WNBA
I bet you don't get invited to many parties.
❤🎉
Catch a clue
Wow
Dads garage??? That how my garage is. Lol. Two car garage and only fits one car bc of all that stuff
Looks like someone needed to use the rest room...
Kate Money Marten
Aww cute
She looks just like her father
She’ll make the team.. She’s a dawg
