Top Liberty players to watch
When watching the Liberty, it’s impossible to ignore the sheer star power driving its offense. The frontcourt is anchored by former MVP Breanna Stewart and dominant center Jonquel Jones, both of whom are locked into multi-year deals. They’re joined by three-time All-Star forward Satou Sabally, a major addition who brings incredible versatility to the wing.
In the backcourt, Sabrina Ionescu sets the tempo for New York. Her lethal outside shooting and court vision make her one of the most dangerous guards in the league, completing a core that’s built to overwhelm opponents on both ends of the floor.
