One of the hardest things to do when you are a sports team is going into another team’s house and trying to gain a victory.
Especially for the New York Liberty, who has all of the eyes of the WNBA upon them to see if they are what they claim to be a Super Team.
Two of the key components who are hoping to show that they are going to be just a big of a part of the squad as additions Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart are Han Xu and Kayla Thornton.
Fans are encouraged to check out the video below to hear thoughts from Xu and Thornton prior to the team taking on the Washington Mystics:
Han is going to be one of the players that the New York Liberty hope can contribute to the success of the squad. The hope is that she can see some minutes at the top of the key while also trying to see some time when Jones and Stef Dolson aren’t on the floor.
Xu, who is returning to the New York Liberty, looks to put some impressive stats on the floor for the team. Thus far Han has been able to play in 50 games in the WNBA to go along with 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, while having an impressive 45.7% mark from the three-point line.
Thornton, meanwhile, is going to be one of the newer faces on the squad and is hoping to impress the fans in New York with her play. After spending some time with the Dallas wings, hopes to have her size and talent utilized as the 2023 season progresses.
Things are getting excited now as the New York Liberty are drawing closer and closer to the start of the 2023 WNBA season and their first match-up against the ulna-tough Washington Mystics.
