The Las Vegas Aces are bidding for their place in history to become a three-peat team in the WNBA in the upcoming 2024 season.
Even with the championship expectations, the team got busy stacking up rookies in the 2024 WNBA draft by picking up Kate Martin, Dyaisha Fair, Elizabeth Kitley and Angel Jackson.
When the rookies reached the Aces' training camp, they were overwhelmed after being surrounded by basketball personalities like A'Ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Becky Hammon.
“It’s crazy because I’ve been looking up to these players for so long and to coach Hammon for so long," said Martin. "And so, to be alongside them right now, you know, it’s it’s a little surreal but um just how hard they go."
Dyaisha Fair is internalizing every word and lesson she gets from her new mentors. The former Syracuse standout also admires how the team's veterans make them feel relaxed in their transition to the professional ranks.
“Basically, to not you know get down on yourself about a mistake is new, everything’s new," said Fair. "I’m not the only one here that doesn’t know anything or know what’s going on really. And, you know, just to have fun. That’s the main thing and be myself is what they’ve been telling me to do."
The Las Vegas Aces rookies will begin their first WNBA season on May 14 as they take on the Phoenix Mercury. The game will be held at the Michaelob Ultra Arena and the tip-off starts at 10:00 p.m. ET.
