The Summitt WNBA Power Rankings, June 5 edition

5. New York Liberty

Tina Charles is Tina Charles. But when Kiah Stokes is also Kiah Stokes—and over the weekend she was twice in two games—it becomes very hard to defeat the Liberty, even without Epiphanny Prince, who is overseas right now. Bill Laimbeer knows how to coach offense, even without a legit point guard, and said following Friday night’s win over Dallas that his team is essentially a point guard by committee. As long as Stokes is posting double-doubles and defending at an elite level, that should be enough to get them a decent seed in the playoffs.
