Flau’jae Johnson eager to get going in her WNBA career with Seattle after trade from Valkyries

Last night, Johnson made her preseason debut for the Storm against the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center, finishing in a 78-76 loss to the team that originally selected her.
Selected by the Valkyries out of LSU, Johnson was then traded to Seattle in a deal that sent Marta Suarez and a selection to the Valkyries.
Johnson recorded 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting in 23 minutes of play, adapting quickly to the professional pace after a whirlwind couple of weeks following her selection.
After receiving a warm ovation at the Bay, Johnson called the moment "cool" and expressed her love for the area, adding "Wow, I'm in the WNBA" to describe her debut.
Learning the Storm system under Raman while leaning on veteran teammates, Johnson is adjusting to the professional level alongside a new head coach and many fresh faces on the roster.
