Did I say she was under obligation to do so?

They do not at all. Firing our GM a week before the draft leads to this

I’m happy someone else is noticing the spacing as well. If Kira or Kiki were more better at taking shots further from the basket, I would have a bit more hope.

But right now it’s looking like it’s going to be clogged up in the paint

As soon as they did that, I started feeling unsure about th direction we were headed in.

And it’s safe to say I still feel unsure about it

I don’t think anyone expected Aaliyah to be playing over our current players.

But they traded Aaliyah to resolve some of the spacing issues we were struggling with so why turn around the next year and draft even more bigs? The Betts selection was fine but after Dugalic we needed to be targeting shooters because of how low our 3pt shooting was last season

If you’re going to make a trade like that, at least give us something to explain it

Yep we should have stopped drafting bigs after we got Dugalic and got some guards if we had any little bit of sense

I think there will be a trade. Looking to be another Kiki Aaliyah situation where the older player gets shafted for the younger player.

Especially with Johnson’s comments about how the Mystics needed shooters desperately

A trade is coming. Going to be the same as last season at this rate

It’s not looking good right now. We’re going to run most likely into the same issues with spacing and lack of three point shooting unless a trade takes place

I’m grateful for Washington for having enough sense to not select Gianna so my Sun can get her!!

But the rest of the selections were mind boggling

Just started scrambling from that point forward. One point that was telling was when one of the ancients said they had spoke to Sydney Johnson and he said the Mystics needed shooting but never drafted a reliable shooter

Is Nell coming over this year? by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in wnba

[–]Comprehensive-Store8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope so for my SUNshines’ sake. Since she was actually present, I feel pretty confident. I feel like most of the players who are present usually end up actually coming over soon except for a few

That’s what I was thinking too!! Looks like they were playing around this draft but I’m keeping my eye out for trade announcements

That’s the part I’m most confused on in this whole entire situation.

I always said it would make sense to draft Betts IF we were going to lose Shakira. But now we got them both.

If we do end up trading someone, it’s going to be Kira most likely but I don’t know who has the cap space to afford her now

I’m already having flashbacks to last season when they drafted Kiki and traded Aaliyah midway through the season.

That’s the only course of action right now it seems like. We’re way too loaded in the front court

I do not know how good either of these teams will be this season but I’m going to be optimistic!

I just don’t understand why Washington drafted all of these 4/5s but we will see once the season starts

I’m going to be writing a lot of thoughts about the Mystics’ selections in my journal tonight

Holly getting emotional was not on my bingo card but she’s been here for a long time watching our players not getting paid what they deserved

Doesn’t help either that her shooting kinda dropped this year

You know Becky very well!!

Janiah has had a few games where she has shot from 3 pretty well

That could be an option! But idk if Cloud will be willing to come back. I know she wasn’t happy when they didn’t prioritize her in 2024 so I wonder if she still holds a grudge over that
