I've watched a lot of teams and games thus far and have enjoyed watching the Washington Mystics, a nascent team with many younger players coalescing on a game-by-game basis. It hasn't been a linear progression, with injuries here or there, but they play hard and, by and large, pretty smart.

To give credit, some of this was due to the culture the Thibaults had....the developmental focus was solid and players like Emily Engstler and Jade Milbourne were shown patience and training.  I'll be interested to see how Sidney Johnson and the rest of the old Chicago Sky coaching staff continues this development with players like Shakira Austin and Aaliyah Edwards.

But they hit jackpot with Kiki Iriafen and Sonia (Soni) Citron, who were inserted into the starting lineup and have stayed there. Citron makes any team she plays on more cohesive...it's what she does. And Iriafen, along with Austin and Edwards, is one hell of a trifecta at forward.

It will be really interesting to see if Georgia Amoore will come back to team up with her fellow Aussie, Jade Melbourne, manning the point guard slot.
