"In the expansion draft, we handpicked players that embody our culture: hard-working, mental toughness and ultra-competitive. Kate fits all of those. Kate is our culture."Martin has been paying Nakase's trust back with some high-effort performances for the Valkyries. This has resulted in a fairy-tale season for Golden State, as it is fourth in the Western Conference and sixth overall with an 18-15 record.In their last game, the Valkyries overwhelmed the Chicago Sky 90-59, and Martin contributed five points, two rebounds and two assists.
