Flau’jae Johnson, a Savannah native and rookie for the Seattle Storm, shared her thoughts on what a successful rookie season would look like in the WNBA during an exclusive interview with WJCL.”Leaving a different player than when I came in,” Johnson said when asked the question. “I don’t want to be the same rookie. I want there to be a drastic difference between the player I am in May and the player I am whenever the season ends.” Johnson said. Johnson performed well in the Seattle Storm’s season opener, scoring the first points of the season for her team. She finished the night with 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. Despite her efforts, the Storm fell to the Valkyries 91-80.
