Senior forward Cameron Brink spoke to the media on Wednesday afternoon — her first press conference since the 2024 WNBA Draft, where she was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks with the No. 2 overall pick.
During the call, Brink expressed her enthusiasm about playing under Sparks head coach Curt Miller, especially since it presents an opportunity to learn from a new coach. According to Brink, Miller coaches with a different approach than former Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer.
“I love to learn from all different types of coaches, all different styles of play, so I’m just really excited for his advice,” Brink said.
The six-foot-four center expects to play more on the perimeter in her professional career than during college.
“Tara is very much a low block coach and I think Kurt allows his bigs to be a little more versatile,” Brink said. “He did say if I need to bring the ball up the floor, he wants me to bring the ball up. I think I’ll set a lot of ball screens, and have more opportunities to short roll and pop.”
During Brink’s tenure at Stanford, VanDerveer employed a Princeton-style offense, which rarely placed Brink in positions to play on the perimeter.
