Aces rookie Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s No. 1 overall draft pick by the Indiana Fever, are bonded by a trait that has aided both of their success.

The Aces are at the cutting edge of media presentation, as six members of the organization served as on-air talent in some capacity during the offseason.
