1. Lisa Leslie
2. Sheryl Swoopes?
3. Katie Smith?
4. Tina Thompson
5. Lauren Jackson

1. Mwadi Mabika
2. Tamecka Dixon
3. Lisa Leslie
4. Vickie Johnson

1. Latasha Byears
2. Lisa Leslie
3. Sheryl Swoopes
4. Nancy Lieberman? (I didn't think Lieberman had had a run with the Globetrotters, though- I know Woodard did.)

I did use the WNBA Guide and Register, but only to confirm any suspicions I had- go figure, both cases involved Sheryl Swoopes.

Not bad - 11 for 12. You've only missed one!

(Hint: you have a correct answer matched with the wrong clue, so if you can reshuffle part of the list and match the correct answer with the right clue, you can find some other player meeting the newly-vacant clue's description.)

Make that 12 for 13. I can't count today. :D

Agh. You were right on 11 of 13. (What's wrong with me.)

The switched clues are in the first part and Lisa Leslie has not played every WNBA season.
