Kayla Thornton on Going from Undrafted to the Valkyries’ First WNBA All-Star

Last week at WNBA All-Star, Sue sat down with Kayla Thornton to talk about her incredible journey from going undrafted out of UTEP to becoming the Golden State Valkyries’ first-ever WNBA All-Star. They discuss how Kayla developed her game overseas, grew through tough early-career moments, and built a reputation as one of the most reliable defenders in the league. They also discuss Kayla’s time with the Dallas Wings and what it was like to win a WNBA championship with the New York Liberty. Plus, Sue answers some wild audience questions—including a brutal bench/start/cut between her first UConn championship, her first gold medal, and her first Seattle Storm title.
