Minnesota Lynx guard Natisha Hiedeman valued for versatility

Natisha Hiedeman's debut with the Lynx on Friday didn't create as big a splash as that caused by teammate Courtney Williams. After all, Williams opened the game scoring nine points in Minnesota's 13-2 start against Chicago in a preseason-opening victory. Determined to build depth and versatility in the backcourt, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve signed Williams as a free agent and traded with Connecticut for Hiedeman.
