On Wednesday, the Washington Mystics announced that they traded the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 Draft to the Atlanta Dream for the No. 3 and No. 14 picks in the 2022 Draft. They also have the right to swap 2023 first round picks with the Dream, specifically a pick Atlanta acquired from the Los Angeles Sparks.
In the release, General Manager and Head Coach Mike Thibault said the following:
“We feel that this trade gives us the opportunity to have more options in both the 2022 and 2023 drafts. We are very comfortable with all three players that we have ranked as the possible top three picks in the draft.
