Man, I was ready for the Mystics to threaten to repeat, but no Charles, Cloud, or Sanders, very likely no Delle Donne. They're probably down 80% of their starting lineup. They're threatening for a lottery pick.

I became a Mystics fan when they drafted Hines-Allen. She has not had much of a chance to show what she can (or maybe can't) do since she backs up Delle Donne. No Charles and possibly (probably?) no Delle Donne should give her lots more minutes. Hope she uses them well.

I think Meesseman is going to tear up the league this year without being in EDD's shadow. The roster aside from her, Atkins and Mitchell looks extremely underwhelming. Likely will be a tough year for the Mystics.

The worst part of this is they traded all their 2021 picks. Fortunately this isn't going to be a great draft.

Plus its the worst 2 year record combined for the lottery so they wouldn't even qualify

All you have to do is miss the playoffs to be in the lottery. The two-year record comes in to figure the odds of winning each pick. DC would likely have the worst odds of getting the #1 pick (10%).

I agree on Emma. The sky's the limit for her.

As a Liberty fan, I have no tears for them. Mystics long term will be in contention for a long time

MHA should be a major player this season in the front court along with Tianna Hawkins. I'm curious to see what Alaina Coates brings to the table this season. With Thibault coaching, the Mystics should make the playoffs once again.

Stella Johnson's explosive performance snaps Mystics losing streak

Stella Johnson has been on the Mystics for only a week. But in that time she has earned a starting spot and shined with a 25-point night.

Moving Johnson into the starting lineup was not out of choice, but simply because there weren’t many options. Without much bench production during the losing streak, Thibault didn’t want a second unit of only young players. Thus, Tianna Hawkins got moved to that role and Johnson got the start.

Turning to the Rider-product, who had been waived by two different teams since she was drafted in April, Thibault knew she deserved that spot. In the short time she had been with the Mystics, he and the rest of the staff like what they have seen.

Aerial Powers is expected to be out for the rest of the season.

Powers might be out for the 2020 WNBA season

Looks like it’s time for the Washington Mystics to focus on the 2021 season...

Glad to see MHA taking advantage of the opportunity. She ought to win MIP hands down.

Mystics need two wins. I think they get them.
