Martin is having a good season with Golden State, averaging 5.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. She only shot 31.4% from the field this season, but she made amends in the free-throw department, making 80% of her attempts from the 15-foot line.

Golden State coach impressed with Kate Martin's work ethic

Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase opened up on why she picked former Iowa guard Kate Martin from the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA expansion draft.

Nakase said she was amazed by Martin's work ethic and her competitive nature, partly due to her back-to-back national championship stints with the Hawkeyes in the 2023 and 2024 NCAA Tournaments.

"She was my No. 1 priority from Vegas," Nakase said. "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 this season 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.
