""Transformation takes time, and it's a process, right? And I think I see that we've had tremendous growth. To bring in players like Nneka, Erica Wheeler and then Ariel, we have everyone in camp fully healthy.""
""I think, really, our depth and our talent is immense this year, and the mission is very clear from everyone on this team and equipped with the jump and training camp, very excited about the hunger and sense of urgency that we have. We want to win now, that's very important to us.""
""I feel a lot more aware of what to expect. I think our training camp was much more efficient. I'll be the first to admit that I'm confident in my ability and coaching, but I was new, and it's a learning curve, just like it is for players to go from college to pro, it was for me too.""
""But it feels different.""

Key veteran additions include Nneka Ogwumike, Erica Wheeler, and Ariel Atkins, joining returners Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink. The team emphasizes growth and depth, with a strong sense of urgency to win. Coach Lynne Roberts expresses increased confidence and efficiency in her second season, acknowledging the learning curve she faced.
