Here is the pool of players the Washington Mystics will be considering for their 2023 roster:
- Elena Delle Donne, starting PF ($234,350)
- Brittney Sykes, second SG ($190,000)
- Natasha Cloud, starting PG ($190,000)
- Myisha Hines-Allen, starting SF ($175,100)
- Ariel Atkins, starting SG ($175,000)
- Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, third SG ($95,000)
- Shakira Austin, starting C ($73,584)
- Amanda Zahui B., second C ($74,305)
- No. 4 pick ($74,305)
- Tianna Hawkins, second PF ($74,305)
- Jazmine Jones, fourth SG ($62,285)
- No. 20 pick ($65,290)
- Evina Westbrook, second PG ($62,285)
- No. 32 pick ($62,285)
It appears the Mystics’ biggest needs at No. 4 are backup small forward and backup point guard. ESPN has them taking center Stephanie Soares (Iowa State), Winsidr has them taking shooting guard Taylor Mikesell (Ohio State) and Just Women’s Sports has them taking Haley Jones (Stanford), who I consider to be a small forward, though she is listed as a guard.
Both ESPN and Winsidr have H. Jones available at No. 4. I think that would be a good pick for the Mystics. H. Jones was previously projected as high as No. 2, but Diamond Miller (Maryland) has become an almost-unanimous No. 2 among mock drafts while H. Jones was hurt by Stanford’s poor performance in the NCAA Tournament.
Just think of all…
