Kate Martin Used Three Words To Describe Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso

On Thursday, June 27, the Chicago Sky will play the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces for the first time in the 2024 season.

This game will feature many big names facing off against each other, including Aces stars A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. But it's the rookies that will bring in a majority of the attention to the game. Sky rookies Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, and Aces rookie Kate Martin come to mind.

All three of the aforementioned rookies have seen significant roles since entering the WNBA in April. And both Reese and Cardoso met Martin and Caitlin Clark in the previous two NCAAW National Championships. In 2023, Reese and LSU defeated Iowa; in 2024, Cardoso and South Carolina beat the Hawkeyes.

On Monday, a few days before the Sky-Aces battle, Martin discussed Reese and Cardoso's impact and used three words to describe them: "Big. Strong. Athletic."

"I'm really happy for them for how they've been playing. They're big, they're strong, they're athletic post players, and they go hard every play," Martin said, "They rebound like crazy. They kind of hang their hats on that... They're really good. I think everybody knows that, and everybody can see that." (via Fox5 Las Vegas reporter Paloma Villicana)
