Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon sees a lot of upside in rookies Kate Martin (Iowa) and Dyaisha Fair (Buffalo/Syracuse). Both played 10 minutes in the Aces' lone preseason game, each scoring five points and dishing out two assists in a 102-50 win.
Making the regular season roster in the WNBA is not an easy task. But rookies Kate Martin and Dyaisha Fair are making quite the impression on Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon, giving them both a chance to suit up for the defending champions this summer.
Martin and Fair each scored five points and dished out two assists. It was the first time the two rookies went against someone other than their teammates, and had a chance to defend players not named Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young."Well, you have to understand these rookies, every time they're competing you have to allow them some grace to grow and allow them to have some grace with each other," Hammon said.
