My Answers:

#1 Reliable Small Forward (Crystal if on the team should only be
used off the bench), which will allow DeLisha to play the Power
Forward Position. A true starting Center (Janel Burse). Keep an eye
on the Mystics 3rd Rd Pick Mariam Sy next season.

The Sun are the only WNBA team who has a 7'2 Center. There is 2 ways
to defeat a tall center, one is run her to death on defense and the
second is to continue to drive on her to force foul trouble.

#2 Tamara James was the 8th pick in the draft, teams normally don't
cut their 1st round pick in year one. Kaayla Chones and Aiyesha
Smith aren't in the league, the other WNBA teams must've agreed with
the Mystics releasing them.

#3 I suspect Byears was still injured and the Mystics put her on the
playoff roster, hoping she could help if the Mystics made the next
round. Also, Richie Adubato stated he was going to use a 8 player
rotation.

#4 I understand why Laurie isn't used a lot in the games, she isn't
the quickest player which leads to additional strand on the teams'
defense. I do agree Richie Adubato should've had Laurie (Mystics
best 3 Point Shooter) on the court during the final 6 seconds of the
game, down by 3 points.
