Liberty assistant GM to lead new franchise
Nyanin will oversee operations for WNBA Golden State
Ohemaa Nyanin spent five years in Brooklyn watching New York Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb rebuild a franchise, lead it to its first WNBA Finals appearance since 2002 and earn the league’s Executive of the Year award last season.
Now, the Liberty’s former assistant general manager will try to do it herself with the WNBA’s expansion franchise in Golden State.
Kolb thinks the yet-to-be-named team made the right decision.
