Camille Little (Rookie season/team: 2007 San Antonio Stars)

Player: Helen Darling and Becky Hammon

“They were nice and helped me along the way. I had to cook dinner all the time, because when they found out I could cook, I’d be the one to buy groceries and cook dinner,” Little said. “It wasn’t anything specifically on the court, but they all just poured into me when I needed to have it. I just tried to stay coachable and be a sponge. The biggest thing I tell all rookies is to be a sponge. I’ve played with some great, great people. I was able to watch, absorb what was going on, be coachable and do some of the same things.”
