"Flau'jae Johnson has been one of the biggest names and most dynamic guards in women's basketball ever since helping the LSU Tigers win their first-ever national championship her freshman season."
"Valkyries general manager Ohemaa Nyanin declined to answer questions Monday night about why Golden State selected and ultimately traded Johnson."
"Suarez, a 6-foot-3 post, previously played at Tennessee, Cal and most recently TCU, where this season she averaged 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds while shooting 37% from the 3-point arc."
"Storm general manager Talisa Rhea said the team was looking for an opportunity to move up in the draft and get Flau'jae Johnson."
Flau'jae Johnson, a prominent guard and rapper, was traded to the Seattle Storm after being selected No. 8 overall by the Golden State Valkyries. In exchange, the Valkyries received Marta Suarez's draft rights and a future second-round pick. General manager Ohemaa Nyanin did not provide details on the trade rationale or salary cap implications. The Storm aims to enhance their roster by pairing Johnson with Awa Fam Thiam and other young talents, including Dominique Malonga and Ezi Magbegor.
