Like I said before, now the Mystics only have two lead guard types in Cloud and Toliver.... unless Atkins or SWK have been working on that aspect. I gotta think Thibault is in the market for another PG, maybe even a decent one like Leilani Mitchell?

i wouldnt be suprised to see Toliver play more at the PG spot this season. Atkins moves to SG and it creates room for their big line-up with Meesseman, EDD and Sanders/Hawkins together. So Cloud and Toliver would be enough.
But i wouldnt be suprised to see them sign FLB

That’d be risky business for a team that fancies themselves as title contenders.
I suppose teams are hoping Mitchell makes it all the way through waivers and would be willing to sign as a free agent for vet minimum, saving teams $40K.

| Most teams can only dream of having 2 point guards like Cloud and Toliver. I don't see it as much of an issue (unless injuries happen but that's a problem for any team).

I’m guessing Toliver is also starting. It’s conceivable there will be times when they both will need to be off the court at the same time. I’m guessing Thibault has a plan. Just curious what he has in mind. He cut a third PG in order to keep Mestdagh.
Dallas made what was to me a painful cut of Burke in order to keep a training camp invite level PG in McCarty. So despite PG duties being able to be spread out over Hill, Ogunbowale, and Davis, Dallas felt the need to keep McCarty around until one of their normal PG’s returns.
The Aces kept veteran but late training camp invite Colson over Nared in order to have a proper backup to Plum. Apparently relying on Young as a PG wasn’t in the cards.
Seattle has a similar problem (through injury, not by choice) to Washington at the PG. Most likely Loyd is the primary backup to Canada. But apparently Whitcomb can run some point.
To me, all these teams would be a good landing spot for Mitchell, if they can make the numbers work.

| Why would they ever need to be off the court at the same time?

| Yeah, Mystics could really use a back-up PG for Cloud now.

| I was wondering if they could get Allemand's rights from Indiana and just go full on Belgian, but that probably wouldn't be the best idea for when EuroBasket Women rolls around. |

| Curious if they sign someone to an injury exemption contract. They'll be down to just 8 players for Saturday.

Also from Lindsay Gibbs' twitter page:
EDD is day-to-day as well. She has a big brace on her knee, but is moving well.
Aerial Powers is 50% for Saturday, but much more likely to be back for Game 3.

The problem is that she's in Latvia's initial squad for EuroBasket Women, so she may not be there long. Although last I heard they were still working on her Latvian paperwork, so if it fell through maybe she'd stick as their temporary replacement. |

| They said during yesterday's broadcast that Meesseman and Mestdagh can't play in the continuation game because they weren't on the original roster. Washington is trying to get Peddy's return approved for that half game. This looks like a holding spot for Shey so she can practice with the Mystics without being on the roster.

Actually, Meesseman and Mastdagh will be playing in this game.
Las Vegas will most likely be missing A'ja Wilson, who has been sidelined with a left ankle sprain. Washington is expected to have Emma Meesseman, who missed the original game because she was playing for Belgium in the EuroBasket Tournament.
"It's very nice to have Emma, given the number of games we didn't have her for,'' Thibault said.

I guess the announcers were wrong. Actually, I was surprised by what they said because the WNBA is such a laissez-faire league. This is more like what we'd expect.

| Mystics have signed Shey Peddy to a seven day contract. Toliver and Atkins are both out for tomorrow's game vs. Seattle.

Aerial Powers is making the trade that brought her to DC look good
Jenn Hatfield (High Post Hoops)
| Quote: |
| Averaging 10.6 points per game so far this season, she has topped that in each of her last three games, scoring 14 against Indiana, 20 against Minnesota, and 16 against Seattle—all wins. For the season, she is shooting 45% from the floor and 38% from 3-point range as one of head coach Mike Thibault’s primary bench options. |
