Tiffany Hayes latest from Aces to win Sixth Person of the Year - ESPN

LAS VEGAS — Aces guard Tiffany Hayes received the WNBA Sixth Person of the Year award Friday, the league announced.

Hayes received 38 of 67 votes from a national media panel. New York's Leonie Fiebich finished second with 21 votes. Shatori Walker-Kimbrough of Washington and Marina Mabrey of Connecticut were the next two in the voting.

It's the fifth time in the past six seasons that a Las Vegas player has won the award.

In her 12th WNBA season and first with the Aces, Hayes played in 33 of Las Vegas' 40 regular-season games, coming off the bench a career-high 28 times and starting five games. To be eligible for the award, a player must come off the bench in more games than they start.

Hayes averaged 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season while making 40.2% of her 3-point attempts. She joined the Aces a few weeks into the season and six months after she had announced her retirement from the WNBA.
