Once practice starts, I hope Nika doesn’t hurt any of her teammates…or her coaches….or the trainer….or a member of the press standing too close to the court…. ;)

It's a distinct possibility. The woman is a menace, or so I've heard.

As someone born and raised in Seattle, I think that Nika will love it and vice versa! The fan culture and intensity are great plus there is an amazing Croatian community.

I am so happy for Nika. She’s gotten to this point in her life because someone gave her a chance in life, and she’s used this opportunity to execute her talent, skills and determination, while gaining an American education. Her overall appreciation of life is evident in how she speaks of her teammates, coaches, her family, and her country of birth. May her future successes continue to be abundant.

UConn’s Christian Haynes was drafted by the Seahawks yesterday.

First Notes from Seattle Storm Training Camp

All 12 WNBA teams officially opened up training camp and practice on Sunday.

Some good Nika content in this article. I especially love these quotes:

One thing that stood out was that it felt like when Nika was in and tasked with bringing up the ball, the male practice players were aggressive with a (pseudo) full-court press.​
​
Another thing that stood out was that Nika was already barking orders to get her teammates in line.​
​
I didn’t see Mühl make the pass but I looked up to see Melbourne finish the reverse layup at the rim. Another media member stated that it was the best play of practice.​

I think if Nika makes the team, this will be the most unexpected development of the draft. A player that was so maligned by many Boneyarders during her career, even as a Senior. To me, she was one of the most beloved UConn players of all time, and if she makes the Seattle team her fans will just grow just they did here at UConn. I pray she makes it, because I want to continue to watch her play, no matter what league or team she is associated with. I love this girl and always will. I wish her the best in anything she wants.

I like Nika's assist stats better, however hard to compare a college senior with a 1st year W player:
... Melbourne will get the first crack at winning the backup PG job if she can show improvement from a wobbly rookie year in which she averaged 1.2 assists, converted 3 of 20 three-pointers and had difficulty defensively.​
​
Rookie Nika Muhl ... averaged 5.2 assists, shot 36.2% on threes and won two Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards during her four-year career at the University of Connecticut.​
 
Looks like Nika will be one of five players competing for 3 spots including Melbourne who was the backup point guard last year..With Nika's all aroung hustle and competitiveness hopefully she will earn a spot
 
Judging from this post on the Storms's Instagram page, Nika has a huge fan base in Seattle (and she hadn't even started training camp at the time of posting. (open link and read comments)

Today's the day! Here's our training camp squad ⛈️ | Instagram

I hope they see what nika has done for the city of seattle all ready without even playing one game . Let’s not make a big mistake and let her go . She should make the final roster . If not I’m not sure what direction we are going in . She’ll bring the heat on defense and fill the seats !
