Not until we've counted the number of times she's hit the floor. Any less than 10 and it's not really her.

Hayes had a great game. However LA doesn't really provide a measure of defensive competence. When Golden State plays the Lynx we will have a better gauge of how brightly Tiffany shines on both sides of the court.

Wondering about the star on expansion team. Trying to think of a list of stars on previous expansion teams both in the W and the NBA

Nykesha Sales comes to mind. She was assigned to the Orlando Miracle during an expansion draft in in 1999. The Miracle eventually became the Sun.

I thought they were going to say "Vanloo" was the franchise star I swear it seems like she has the green light when she is anywhere near the stadium. She is not shy about shooting the rock. But congrats to Tiffany Hayes. She looked great out there.
