WNBA Draft 2019: What do the Mystics need after coming off a historically great season?

The 2019 WNBA Draft will be held this Wednesday, April 10 at Nike’s New York City headquarters. The Draft comes at a rather interesting time in the league’s history. This is because the WNBA still hasn’t named a president or commissioner since Lisa Borders resigned last season and also because the WNBA Players’ Union opted out of the current collective bargaining agreement which began before the 2014 season.

The Mystics will come into this draft on a high note. They are coming off a 22-12 regular season and their first Finals appearance in franchise history and took a big monkey off their backs as the team setting records for WNBA franchise futility.
