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.

Mikan Monday! A few hoops stories on my mind to start the week.
And shoutout to the recruiting journalists at @on3 because I have no idea how they can keep up with this portal.
