In 2007, the Sky would field a vastly improved team. The core group of players from 2006 along with some new additions (Notably rookie Armintie Price) helped make the team competitive. The Sky would be in the Eastern Conference playoff picture all year long, even holding the #4 seed for part of the season. But the Sky finished with a 14-20 record. This would make them two games behind the fourth and final playoff spot. Guard Armintie Price was named the 2007 WNBA Rookie of the Year after the season. (*)
