    The Fever Need to SAVE Kate Martin from the End of the Aces Bench... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is hated by WNBA players. Caitlin Clark was drafted number 1 by the indiana fever after being one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. WNBA players like A'Ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and Sue bird are not fans of the number 1 pick.

      I had an achilles tendinitis. I sat out 4 weeks, but it took me till the offseason and 2 months of rest and no sport at all before the pain was completely gone. So I agree. Those 2-3 weeks off before practice started again is most likely not enough. Achilles problems are different from a sprained ancle.

      They wouldn’t be playing her if she was still injured. That injury was not severe and she was walking around on it without limping the second half of the game after she came out from the training room. There was a photo of her walking around on it a few days later without crutches. With just a few pieces of tape on the ankle. It wasn’t severe.

    Trading for Kate Martin would be nice... but the Fever have other things to do first. Like the Fever absolutely NEED to sign Satou Sabally in the off-season, she's a free agent. Then I would like to trade Nalyssa for Dorka Juhasz. Dorka fits better than Nalyssa and can provide depth at both Center and Power Forward. I also feel that the Fever should draft Sonia Citron, if she's within range of their pick, and use other picks to trade up if needed.
    After these things are done, yes, I like the idea of trading for Kate Martin.
    2025 Fever: Caitlin/Grace, Kelsey/Kate, Sonia/Lexie, Satou/KLS/Saxton, Boston/Dorka/Temi.

    The Aces are on a downtrend along with the Mercury. Don't be surprised if the Fever ahead of both of them. I'm not sure if there is room for Kate Martin on the Fever.

    Nice to see you changed your mind from the beginning of the season. You were saying at the beginning that she wouldn't work well on the Fever. I personally think that what ever is good for Clark's mental state is good for the team. I think Lindsey Wahlen had a center she wanted on her team from the U of M, similar concept. If martin keeps clark grounded and keeps her in high spirits through out the year she gets a roster spot.

    Kate's probably fine where she's at. Statistics are never the whole story. Suffering a severe bruise to the tendon when she hurt her ankle on July 16th might have more than a little to do with her subsequent playing time.

  • @harleydude-xo8pu
    @harleydude-xo8pu 2 месяца назад

    You may see the Aces clean house after this season is done, I can see Hayes and Gray definitely gone, Young hasn't done much as well as Clark. Martin being injured is more likely why her playing time has been cut. You may see the Aces with A'JA, Plum, Young, Martin and build around those 4 players while everyone else is traded or cut. The Fever will keep Clark, Boston, Hull, Dontas, Samuelson, Temi and either cut or trade the rest of the team freeing up money for top tier players.

    @clarkkent1521 2 месяца назад

    It was pretty clear to me from draft day that the Aces only drafted Martin for the attention. They couldn't market Wilson, Plum, Gray, or Young. They knew Clark is the greatest draw the league will ever see (although they'll never admit it) so they selected the next best thing available. They never planned on playing Martin and probably won't from now on.

  • @SunnyBrae-lu1cd
    @SunnyBrae-lu1cd 2 месяца назад

    First, the Fever absolutely need to sign Satou Sabally, at Power Forward.
    Second, I would like to trade Nalyssa Smith for Dorka Juhasz. Dorka seems like a better fit with Caitlin's style of play than Nalyssa, and will provide quality depth at both the Center and Power Forward positions.
    I'm also hoping the Fever will draft Sonia Citron in 2025. I would give up picks to trade up and draft Sonia, if it's needed.
    The Fever have to make a decision about Kristy Wallace too. I like Kristy but she will be 29 next season and her past injuries are a bit worrying. Trading Kristy for a Guard who will play a defensive role (Kate Martin, or Nika Muhl, or even Rae Burrell if they can get her) could help with roster balance.
    The 2025 Fever:
    G: Caitlin, Grace.
    G: Kelsey, Kate Martin or Nika Muhl.
    F: Sonia, Lexie.
    F: Satou, KLS, Saxton.
    C: Boston, Dorka, Temi.
    That's 12 players though, so Wheeler can't be re-signed and the team will need to find a way to move Dantas.

  • @RichardIILionheart
    @RichardIILionheart 2 месяца назад

    Kate got more minutes early in the season partly because Gray was injured. Then the Aces signed a couple of players with more experience than Kate. Then she got injured. Without the Olympics break, she would probably be getting zero minutes now.
    I honestly thought Kate would likely not make it to the Aces’ final roster. She is doubtless a great teammate, but she is not the answer to any particular problem the Fever have. If she plays one more season in the WNBA, then heads back to Iowa as an assistant coach, she will be on track in her career.

  • @TheDisruptiveOne

  • @valeriecaraotta7788
    @valeriecaraotta7788 2 месяца назад

    The reality is that Kate’s main role with the Aces was to fill in minutes so that their top players can get a breather. Now that the Aces are not in their best form they cannot afford to take out many other players as teams are pouncing on them. I see a very mentally and physically tired Aces that will be struggling like hell to get in the finals in playoffs. Kate has served as a very likable person with a high EQ that motivates players and that added to their team dynamics. Her work ethic was used in exemplary ways to the team to keep them also hustling up and down the court. Not sure if Kate feels fulfilled on a team with minimal minutes but at her caliber and size, unless the Aces are blowing away another team, she will be used sparingly. Becky Hamon by now is in chambers trying to figure out loose ends and it may come down to this- age and wear and tear on the body has taken a toll.
    With minimal playing time and not much stats to back it up it may be hard for Kate to leave for another team even if she wanted to. Stuck there…and hopefully not with the carpet pulled under her like the Aces do in player exits and entrances. I do think that Becky likes Kate a lot and respects well her Lisa Bluer to hopefully not do that but it is a business. The pressure to win came with their 100k bonus and now they must be looking future to build on what they have. Sweet Kate Martin would be a joy and true team player anywhere. It is apparent she loves her teammates and I wish her the very best. Seems like a true friend indeed that others feel comfortable around and sense her genuineness and sincerety.

  • @gillmartin6691
    @gillmartin6691 2 месяца назад

    As long as the Aces players keep getting their $100,000 bonuses, it’s going to be hard for Kate to get enough playing time to show what she can do. They’ll keep on getting their pick of veterans to fill out their roster.

  • @davidspriggs5024
    @davidspriggs5024 2 месяца назад

    The Fever need a back up point guard who can soot the 3 as a 2. Simms might have been a great fit. I don’t see Martin going to the Fever. She has her own life and a partner. As much as I like the idea of Kate coming off the Fever bench in place of Wheeler, I doubt it will happen. But, it’s a darn good thought

  • @brichards9293
    @brichards9293 2 месяца назад

    The Fever should get Martin, she's a solid player who can jive with CC's style. She also fits in gaps in their lineup. You could give up the 1st round pick for her because the Fever aren't getting a great pick this year. Find a Draymond type of player through free agency who can add some toughness to the forward/center slot. AB is great, but basically a finesse player. Other than that, definitely resign Mitchell. The Fever have some bigger contracts that aren't going to attract interest, those players will have to be cut. The Fever will need to spend money to be a title contender, I'm not optimistic with the history of management.
