Delisha is not Holdsclaw. BUT, delisha is one of the best defenders
in the league. Coupled with Alana, our defense has just improved
dramatically. Delisha is currently playing in Spain, so the knee is
good. Without LL and MM, Delisha's offense should step up. Tari
Philips was picked up by Houston as an Unrestricted Free Agent. Good
thing for them, since Tina Thompson is pregnant.

The Mystics biggest need right now is a consistent perimeter shooter.
If the player's personalities gel (Melvin will be our new problem
child) they will make some noise.
