Taking One for the Team

At Swanny's Stats, there is a list of WNBA leaders in Offensive Fouls Drawn:

1. 85 -- Candice Wiggins, Min.
2. 83 -- Diana Taurasi, Pho.
3. 75 -- Nakia Sanford, Was.
4. 72 -- Candace Parker, L.A.
5. 71 -- Cheryl Ford, Det.
6. 69 -- Katie Douglas, Ind.
7. 67 -- Swin Cash, Sea.
(tie) 67 -- Lauren Jackson, Sea.
(tie) 67 -- Cappie Pondexter, Pho.
10. 66 -- Betty Lennox, Atl.
(tie) 66 -- Tina Thompson, Hou.

As well as a team-by-team breakdown:

Atlanta

Lennox 66
Latta 43
Feenstra 36
Young 31
Lacy 27
Little 25
Lovelace 16
Castro Marques 8
Mann 7
Haynie 6
de Souza 5
Nnamaka 3

Looking at a similar article on 82games.com, I'll leave it as a reader exercise to determine which category Betty Lennox falls in:

1. "Little Big Girl" - height challenged offensive star with reputation for toughness.
2. Real Deal - all around talent who has a built body and will rise to a challenge
3. Defensive Specialist - gritty girls who do the work that no one else wants to do
4. Often overlooked/quiet game - the label speaks for itself.

(Hint: I don't think Betty belongs in #3 or #4.)
