WNBA New York Liberty: The Season Ahead
A New Era for the Liberty
After a disappointing 2022 season, the New York Liberty are looking to turn things around in 2023. With a new head coach and several key additions to the roster, the Liberty are poised to make a run at the playoffs.
Key Additions
The Liberty made several key additions to their roster in the offseason, including: *
Breanna Stewart: A two-time WNBA champion and four-time Olympic gold medalist, Stewart is one of the best players in the league. She will provide the Liberty with a much-needed scoring boost. *
Courtney Vandersloot: A five-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Vandersloot is one of the best point guards in the league. She will help the Liberty control the tempo of the game and get their shooters open looks. *
Natasha Howard: A two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, Howard is one of the best defenders in the league. She will help the Liberty improve their defense, which was one of their biggest weaknesses in 2022.
New Coach
The Liberty also hired a new head coach for the 2023 season, Sandy Brondello. Brondello is a two-time WNBA Coach of the Year, and she has a proven track record of success. She will bring a wealth of experience to the Liberty, and she is expected to help them reach their full potential.
Season Outlook
The Liberty have a lot of potential in 2023. They have a talented roster, a new coach, and a lot of momentum. If they can stay healthy and play together as a team, they have a good chance of making a run at the playoffs.
Here are some of the key questions that the Liberty will need to answer in 2023:
* How will they integrate their new players into the lineup? * Can they stay healthy and avoid injuries? * Can they play together as a team and develop chemistry? * Can they improve their defense? * Can they make a run at the playoffs?
The Liberty will open their 2023 season on May 19th against the Indiana Fever.
