I'm assuming the Storm won't match the Mystics contract offer to Kristi Thomas.
Toliver/Cloud
Hill/Latta
Thomas/Sanders/ #6 Pick
Delle Donne/Ruffin-Pratt
Meesseman/Malott
Malott could be replace by the 2017 #18th Pick if Coach T finds a player overseas |
Krystal Thomas is a center..

I know Krystal Thomas is a Center, I believe I have her slotted along with LaToya Sanders and the #6 Pick who I'm hoping will be Brionna Jones. I did go back to correct myself, I got my Ks mixed up when mentioning the Storm matching the offer.

Mystics starting to look good now.
Everyone trying to get to DC now that Trump is there. He has made that place cool again!

Very good. Defense will be something they will have to figure out, but Thibault can coach that up some schematically. When you have that type of ridiculous 3 point shooting and shot creation you've got quite a squad.
My Liberty have some work to do if they're going to contend for a top 4 slot.

The best WNBA comparison for Draymond Green retired after last season, but Meesseman is in a position to carve out a niche all her own.

I'm guessing Latta stays & Hill comes off the bench.
PG: Latta/Cloud
SG: Toliver/Hill
SF: Ruffin-Pratt/#6 pick/Mallot
PF: Delle Donne/Sanders
C: Meesseman/Thomas

To me this looks like a VERY high scoring starting team! Have some questions; can Meeserman play her offensive game at center and can she be effective on defense?
APG RPG
PG: Latta 8.3 1.7
SG: Toliver 13.2 2.6
SF: Ruffin-Pratt 7.3 3.0
PF: Delle Donne 21.5 7.0
C: Meesseman 15.2 5.6
TOTAL 65.5 19.9
That is the five starting players averages scoring a double in every game with total APG.

I'm thinking Mitchell signs somewhere else. Maybe Dallas? Seattle?

There's a chance the Mystics could select Coates, Brionna Jones, Walker-Kimbrough or Nia Coffey at #6 in the 2017 WNBA Draft.

She's still listed on the Mystics fairly updated roster, but no doubt Thibault will weigh his options.

Hill was the team's leading scorer last year, though her FG% was bad. Ruffin-Pratt gave more in terms of points and assists (the latter on a per minute basis), but also shot pretty poorly from the floor.
Curious to see if those percentages improve with better players at the 2 and 4 positions. |
As a 3-point shooter (35.1%; 1.9 makes) and slasher (5.8 FTA), Hill should do well with Delle Donne and Toliver. However, that should be the extent of her role in this offense, 3s and layups. Her FG% may still not be that great, but her TS% should go up.

Of course the choice at #6 is completely dependent on who enters the draft. Brionna Jones will be the first post, then Coates. If nobody comes out, the only player I'd select before B.Jones is Kelsey Plum. Not that impressed with Walker-Kimbrough at the pro level. To get minutes over Ms glue (Ruffin-Pratt) a wing would have be able to do a little of everything (defense,rebound,assists) plus shoot better than TRP. Especially without a true center, have to get a little bruiser for that spot. Think Mo Currie. Mo would be thrilled to bang around in the post instead of shipped out beyond the three point line. Not as tall as a post, but built to be mean.

Please don't quote the large pics for consideration of the bandwidth-limited posters

Just FYI, extra bandwidth is not used if the same pic is quoted multiple times. Your browser still only needs to download it once.
Please don't post giant pics in the first place would be a fair request though, for bandwidth and general message board readability reasons.
(Not that I consider this one to be giant btw. It's totally fine, and a nice, on-topic pic to boot)

I'm not sure it works that way for phones.... maybe, but doubling up on the pics isn't really necessary anyway.
