Brink did not hesitate to express her preference for Butler in a recent interview when asked to choose between him and other NBA stars. Brink never wavered in his support for Butler, even whether they were up against more established players like Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum or up-and-coming players like Victor Wembanyama. She gushed over the six-time NBA All-Star, Jimmy Butler, saying, “I love Jimmy, Jimmy Butler!”

Brink admires Butler’s basketball style and aspires to emulate his two-way dominance on the court, even though their personal relationship is not as strong as her one with Stephen Curry. As the newest member of the Los Angeles Sparks, chosen second overall in the WNBA draft, Brink hopes to emulate Butler’s ability.

Brink can’t wait to start her new job!It’s clear that Brink is looking forward to playing for the Sparks and learning from head coach Curt Miller. Brink expects a different playing style from Miller, in contrast to her time at Stanford under Tara VanDerveer. “I love to learn from all different types of coaches, all different styles of play, so I am just really excited for his advice,” said the player.

Brink gets a chance to show off her versatility as Stanford shifts from an inside-focused style of play to the Sparks’ more diverse one. Consistent with Miller’s approach that permits bigs to display more versatility, she foresees a move toward playing more on the perimeter. “Tara is very much a low block coach and I think Kurt allows his bigs to be a little more versatile,” said Brink.

As her gaming style develops, Brink is driven to mimic Butler’s versatile contributions. Just like Butler, Brink wants to be an оffensive and defensive juggernaut. He wants to be a devastating force on the court. Brink has the potential to be a long-term star for the Sparks if she is able to achieve her ambitions and reach Butler’s level.
