Year 1, Acclimating 

she can do both. she always talks about using her strength and physicality against smaller defenders and using her speed and skill against bigger, slower defenders. let's go sparks!

Seattle is not working for Nika. She needs to move out of Seattle. Don't understand why they select her if they don't have roster for her.

@@user-qs2br2jl4x just have patience. Rookies normally don't play, unless the team is rebuilding. The Storm are contending for a title. Contenders normally don't play rookies. She will have her time to play next year. I'm so excited for her to grow and develop.

Seattle is working out for Nika, or they'd have waived her. Look at how many 2nd and 3rd round draftees are still on rosters. Almost none. They w ould love to be on a team developing skills in practice and getting paid. She can get stronger in the offseason

Oh and absolutely looovvvee Rickea!!! She’s my fave! But they’re all 🔥🔥

marketing/advertising this short doc or the league in general?

It’s about rookies bub

*dearica

Yeah. We all love Kate

I feel you don't get it's a good thing she didn't have to carry the load for a team as a rookie. She is a 2nd rd pick on a loaded Seattle team. Unlike Chicago and LA who needed their rookies to start and have significant mins. So she just gets to study the game before she has to play significant mins

@@donovan7102 When a big says it's tough to learn everything, it's doubly tough for a PG. They're the floor general and have to know *everything*.

chicago has a great point guard in Chennedy. Seattle is pretty stacked in the guard position but she could get playing time there still. It's called depth. That will be useful when the playoffs begin. Nika has an amazing opportunity to develop. She has a team willing to invest in that development. That's rare.

@@shonduhsings The main thing that makes it hard for her to get mins is Seattle goes 9 deep without her and most teams rotation only need to about 9 people deep. So her and Kiana sadly get the garbage time or no time at all.

@@donovan7102 I agree with your insight as well as your comment above. It is a blessing in disguise really. She gets to develop and build on her game without the pressure that other rookies have. I still think she has bright future. Even if she was getting significant minutes I don't think she would have made that much of an impact.

She’ll get more time next year. She’s with a great coach who knows what she’s doing. Give it time

See that doesn't really work for a couple reasons. Nika is still just getting started so she is not gonna play 10-15 mins right away because that's not what Seattle needs her to do. Also Horston and Vivians along side Sami jump in at the 1-3 spots so Nika doesn't get back up mins either. Until she proves that she can handle their responsibilities she will get no more than 5-7 mins

@@donovan7102thank you. Ppl are not getting this. Ppl see Reese, Edwards, Cardoso starting and don’t get that the teams they’re on picked them bc they needed those roles filled. Nika is on a team that has guards and back ups. Just give it time. She’s gna get her moment but like she said she’s grateful and soaking in the opportunity that she has in Seattle to play w talented vets for a championship minded org

it's probably going to be in parts... and there were some clips of her ...

FR

Relax it's 10 episodes so I guess we will hear and see her more 😄

too much

@@comfortsheriff1352it’s actually only 4 episodes

bot

She probably didn't want more press obligations

On literally every nationally televised game 😂 they will probably have her on another episode or they just wanted to shine the light on rookies that aren’t getting as much love.

Jealousy and pettiness…..Barkley was right!

@@gnayr1305 yeah and no Aaliyah Edwards, or Jacy Sheldon, or Marquesha Davis, or Cam Brink… you know some other rookies. Bc the W choose to do a an interview only highlighting two rookies for this piece.

not everything is about clark and kate SIR

Iowa fans are a cancer to wbb

She'd play with Chicago their point guards are 🗑

@@Brolic123 I don't know Seattle's views on this, but Nika needs to play sometime soon, just to merge with the team. She won't be of much use to them if they don't let her get used to that role and the other players to her style. If they can't or won't do that, then she would be better to trade elsewhere after the season. But right now, staying with a team that could win the championship might be a great highlight to whatever comes next for her.

I agree. Megan Gustafson improved immensely playing in the Euroleague.

@@Brolic123huh Chennedy Carter been crazy good though

@@Brolic123they aren’t trash lol. Dana Evans has had a rough start this year but she’s a champion as of just a couple seasons ago. Chennedy is a top five guard in the league. Diamond same as Dana. A champion who is coming off injury. Lindsay Allen is also not a scrub. She has improved the team in this past few games she’s started. It’s just a rebuild year. They will be fine.

@@Patrunos yeah Angel Reese, Aaliyah Edwards, Jacy Sheldon, Marquesha Davis, Kamilla Cardoso, Cam Brink, A Pilli

They all are.

Facts.. They barely showed her. Definitely clickbait

calm down... give the other rookies a chance to shine geez

@@phDST1913 I never said she should take someone else's place. I said it's stupid not to include her as well

@@cremlindor6607 but thats the issue its not "stupid"...marketing is smart they know that audiences can be exhausted with over saturation. they want to focus on other talent. its simple. they already have a mountain of campaigns for your personal favorites

@@phDST1913 exhausted? Half of the WNBA viewership is there for Caitlin Clark. Not putting her in a video for rookies not only makes 0 sense as one of the most accomplished, it also doesn't make sense marketing wise because now all those viewers won't even watch the documentary

@@cremlindor6607 you clearly don't get it nor are you a true wbb fan. do you not think they are getting above goal impressions data on all the content that has been dedicated to her? and overly done? you can't scroll any social media without them pushing her stats or picture even during losses and high turnovers. if you were a true women's basketball supporter, you would encourage getting to know the other rookies but no ..your comments and behavior suggest that if all things arent CC inclusive then it doesn't matter. thats cult like behavior. viewership is a diminished point for including her in every single campaign as if basketball is not a team sport. if you want that she should've played tennis

And yet you’re commenting and watching a video not about her. Dont watch the W if youre not interested about other people

Pass on this one

​@@theDonne12channel I came here just sh!t on nit having CC. Didn't even get to 10 seconds of it.

wow how much more press do you want. 100%? let the other rookies get some exposure. there are other stories than your personal favorites..

yikes.

Everyone hates you

😂😂😂 What is the league folding? Nika has the attitude and potential of a future all-star. Assist monster and defense with incredible hustle, heart and willingness to sacrifice. There is a reason she is UCONN's all-time assist leader. Beating out UCONN and Storm great Sue Bird...

@@nhart5132 I totally agree with you! Nika for one thing is humble, she is there to learn. I watched her entire college run, she is a beast!

@@nhart5132 the reason she is the all time assist leader? she played with a bunch of wnba first round picks. the reason she is still on a team? Geno and Sue Bird. That's it. There are better players signed and waived every day. Seattle traded Jade Melbourne (who is better). The people mad at the Bronny nepotism should be mad about the Nika nepotism.
