Thanks for your responses to this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, Washington Mystics fans. Let’s go over the one question we asked.
The Mystics are 9-22, 10th in the WNBA standings for the 2024 season, after a three win streak. Before that streak, Washington was 12th. Regardless of where the Mystics were, I was still going to ask the same question. Is it better to see them tank, or prioritize playing their younger and bench players for 2025? Or is it better to win now and make a run for the playoffs, which still aren’t mathematically out of reach?
