She does have those Latta ever wide open eyeballs, but don't really see much more resemblance than that.

To me the Liberty team from last night would be anywhere between 8-10 overall, an ominous feeling not knowing the status of some players. Having seen every team this weekend and trying to project forward, I’d be comfortable putting a healthy Libs team (including Boyd at 90%+) in the top 4. That’s not a prediction just a general statement given how far away we are from a full roster.
I think Nurse’s addition makes a full Libs roster a better defensive team than last year by quite a bit, especially if Zahui is also functional. And they were already a good defensive team last year in spite of several obstacles that presented themselves throughout the season.

I suspect 5th or 6th is more likely, but agree that lottery is highly unlikely. Nurse does look really good. Better than I expected, though not by a whole lot - ie, I thought she'd do well but take more time to adjust. And at least having Stokes as a backstop will make the defense much better. You don't want Tina to have to play the 5 ever if possible. And we know Tina doesn't want to have to play the 5 ever either.
I've never been that sold on either Hartley or Boyd but hopefully between them they can hold down that position adequately.

| NYL Need another Star on this roster if they really want to compete for a championship. Ive never thought Tina alone could ever win a WNBA title by herself. She needs a dominant Guard to play with. Ala Sylvia Fowles/ Maya Moore

Yes, mainly the googly eyes.
But, no, not from the neck down. |
