My New Orleans community is in tremendous need and I truly appreciate the support of the Storm family during this challenging time for us. I thank the Sonics & Storm organization for arranging this donation drive and for their compassion for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

My teammates gave me some really good passes and found me when I was open and Lauren was double-teamed. I credit them for finding me.

Defense is key this year, Coach D told us that from the very first meeting we had. Everybody is focused on that more than our offense, and that's a change. I like it better because we can protect the paint a lot more. It's easier to help, and it's just more realistic.
