Cam Brink Hypes Kelsey Plum's Trade to Sparks in WNBA Free Agency: 'She's a Real One'

Cam Brink is fired up to play alongside Kelsey Plum on the Los Angeles Sparks.

"She's a real one," Brink said during a conversation with Sydel Curry-Lee on Tuesday's episode of the Wave Original Straight to Cam (39-minute mark). "She's so fun, too. … I got a PG. Thank goodness because we needed that."

Brink explained that she already knows Plum because they trained together even before she entered the league.

"She's probably one of the hardest workers I know," she added.

Plum came to the Sparks this offseason in a blockbuster trade that also sent Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces. The addition of Loyd will help the Aces account for the loss of Plum and should keep them in the championship picture with A'ja Wilson leading the way.

As for the Sparks, they now have a veteran leader for a team that is filled with young talent.

The future was already bright with Brink (No. 2 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft) and Rickea Jackson (No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft) as foundational cornerstones, but Plum is a championship-winning player with a resume that includes two WNBA titles, an All-WNBA selection and three All-Star Game nods.

She can work in pick-and-rolls with Brink and is accustomed to playing alongside a star forward considering she worked with Wilson when they were together on the Aces.

Plum is the type of point guard who can help Brink reach her own potential, which will set the Sparks up for even more success down the line.
