The WNBA champion, Olympic gold medalist and two-time All-Star brings a veteran, winning presence that's hard to come by on this young team. With only 12 WNBA games under her belt this season, the more Lacan can get comfortable in the next five weeks -- including playing alongside Connecticut's other young talent -- the better. But so far, Loyd is averaging 11.3 points -- the fewest since her rookie season -- and a career-low 1.8 assists per game. She has grown dramatically over the course of her rookie season after being in and out of Noelle Quinn's rotation in the first half of the summer. Both players made the All-Star team, and for a decent amount of the early season were in contention for Rookie of the Year.
