      The Down Low

      First, it's important that you see Satou's draft look, because it is one of the best of all time:

      Satou holds Dallas Wings Jersey wearing suit with cream, blue, and red swirling pattern and black crop top. Background is three different panels of patterns.

      She also sported this custom hoodie, representing her U.S., German, and Gambian origins, which said "More Than an Athlete" in German. It was a fitting message to start her WNBA career. During the 2020 season, Satou served as the youngest member on the Social Justice Council and used her platform to promote racial justice. Following one game, she refused to answer media questions to focus attention instead on the shooting of Jacob Blake (trigger warning: link to interview with Jacob Blake where footage of the shooting is shown.)

      On the court, Satou is often referred to as a "unicorn." What makes her a unicorn? She's a big who can still handle and pass the ball with ease, a unique skill set among the league. And if you can set yourself apart from an elite league of 144 athletes, that's impressive.

      Notable Quotables

      I definitely want my legacy to be a championship. I want my legacy to be the fight for justice, and I want people to talk about the leader and the winner that I am.
