I don't think it is an especially hot take to say that the Liberty has fallen greatly since the start of the season. The Liberty was considered -- not only a team on the rise, but -- a team that was on the cusp of a window to be playoff contenders. The forward trajectory of the team was noticed around the league. The team was considered by many in their Season Predictions to be a playoff contender THIS year. While they maybe weren't at their window to be an Ultimus favorite, they were in the hunt according to most. I don't think their stock would have fallen nearly as much had they just underperformed. This season they haven't only underperformed, they have collapsed. Stockholders are trying to catch a falling knife. While some of the issues could be chalked up to depth chart errors or other intangibles, analysts are suggesting that it likely wouldn't change the overall standings. With the Liberty going 0 and 7, their stock very while might be locked in for this season. However, the question for analysts moving forward will be whether this is the year to buy! If this is just a fluke season for the Liberty and they manage to maintain their personnel, a number one overall pick very well might let them recover over the next 2 seasons or so.
