The Washington Mystics are going to begin the season in just a few days! And now, we’re starting to see the preseason power rankings from various sources. Where do the pundits think the Mystics will stand?
Earlier this week, M.A. Voepel of ESPN released his preseason power rankings. The Mystics ranked third, just behind the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty who were first and second, respectively.
I concur with Voepel that the Mystics are one of the better teams in the WNBA. But they aren’t “superteams” like the Aces and Liberty. Does this mean that that the Mystics are “doomed” to lose in the semifinals to one of these teams?
