One of the teams that women’s basketball fans have been talking about thus far have been the 2023 edition of the New York Liberty.
With a roster chocked full of All-Stars and future Hall of Famers they have been dubbed as one of the WNBA Super Teams and it is easy to see why.
Two pieces to that 2023 New York Liberty success puzzle is going to be Betnijah Laney and Kayla Thornton.
Laney is a star for the New York Liberty as she enters into her sixth season in the W. Recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, the forward averaged 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 minutes when she returned to the roster.
To hear the thoughts from both Laney and Thornton fans are encouraged to check out the video below…compliments of the New York Liberty:
Liberty fans along with fans of Laney are going to keep a close eye to see how she contributes to the team during the 2023 season, as she is going to be one of many offensive options to help the team in scoring the ball.
In addition one of the newest members of the 2023 team Kayla Thornton is hoping to make a splash with the squad. Last with the Dallas Wings, Thornton finished the 2022 season with 8.0 points, 5.9 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game
