Coach Lawrence on LaBeau: "I think you watch her and the first thing that stands out, which matches with a lot of our team right now, is that she has a heavy arm. She's laterally fast, she jumps well, she does all the middle things and has the quickness and smarts to be an effective middle, but she also just hits hard."
