Betty Lennox profile

Height: 5-8.

Weight: 143.

Age: 29, born Dec. 4, 1976, in Oklahoma City.

College: Louisiana Tech, 2000.

Acquired: Sixth overall in the 2004 dispersal draft from Cleveland.

Hometown: Independence, Mo.

Pro experience: Seventh season, averaged 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 2005.

Game time: The new 24-second shot clock will give Lennox more chances for buzzer beaters, one of her specialties. Lennox has bulked up this season to defend against rough play in the paint, and her ball-handling is improved. She's more established on the Storm roster and is ready for an All-Star-type summer.

Doggie days: There was a time when Lennox hated dogs because too many strays roamed her childhood home. Now Lennox has two canines fighting for her attention — a bullmastiff named Skyler, and a pit bull puppy named Diesel — as in Shaq Diesel. "I'm learning how to be a mommy to my dogs," she said.

Nickname: B-Money.
