The Washington Mystics have not started their season on the right foot so far as they have stumbled to a 3-6 record. On the surface, things aren't looking good at all. The team's run of three consecutive playoff appearances may end, and their player leadership isn't totally settled. Though there are sightings.
But that doesn't mean that they are heading in the wrong direction like ... the 2012 season when Albert went ballistic. In fact, they are headed in the right direction. Their struggles this season are just a bump in the road for the current young core.
