Last week @ Mystics practice, 2026 @wnbl champion @lucy3olsen spoke on the benefits of entering a WNBA season after playing overseas. Olsen averaged 5.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 50% from the field in the Mystics' preseason games.

Postgame I asked #ProTerp Saylor Poffenbarger about her preparation heading into her 1st WNBA game that led to a 9 point, 13 rebound night in DC against the Mystics. Saylor also spoke on her @terpswbb support at CareFirst arena tonight.
After the Lynx 77-66 win over the Mystics I asked Olivia Miles about her transition to the W and the physicality she experienced in her first game.
More @washmystics media fun as rookie @roriharmon of @texaswbb let media know that as a self proclaimed “Foodie” she’s been getting plenty of food recs and trying Chai spots in the area. “I’m hearing that DC has a lot of great food, so I’m excited to try it out” - Rori • • • • • #foodie #dmv #mystic #wnba #texaslonghorns
Really awesome response from @laurenmariebetts on embracing the role of being an athlete who impacts their community during Mystics media day. “I think it’s bigger than basketball” Betts said as she referenced the influence @coachcoriclose and @uclawbb has on that mentality. • • • • • #basketball #wnba #mystics
The Mystics made six draft picks tonight, so I asked coach Sydney Johnson about the thought process behind later draft picks. Outside of the top 12 the Mystics selected: Cassandre Proper - 19th Darianna Littlepage-Buggs - 30th Rori Harmon - 34th For those who may not know WNBA rosters can now have two designated developmental players who will not count against the salary cap. This opens the door for teams to have longer term growth plans for incoming rookies and will be something to monitor in the future. “It’s an opportunity, and that’s why we were so very detailed in terms of who we wanted” - Sydney Johnson. As DoB covers the W through the Mystics this summer, make sure to like, comment, and share. #wnba
