Washington mystic general manage is no longer employed as a general manager due to….
Two years ago, I wrote up a list of the Washington Mystics’ all-time first and second teams in commemoration of their 20th anniversary. One of the key criteria I had for each potential selection was that she had to play for the team for at least three seasons.
Because of the self-imposed three-year rule, I left out Elena Delle Donne and Kristi Toliver, who were first-year Mystics at the time. It also left out some other stars like Lindsey Harding and Katie Smith because they weren’t in D.C. long enough either. Harding only played for Washington from 2009-10. Smith, a Naismith Hall of Fame player, was only in D.C. for the 2010 season.
Two years later, the Mystics won the WNBA championship. Last season, Delle Donne won the 2019 WNBA MVP award, Emma Meesseman won the Finals MVP award and most people around the WNBA think highly of the Mystics franchise. They didn’t just a few years ago. Yup, the “Mystakes” are a thing of the past, hopefully for good.
Anyway, it’s time to refresh this list after a major accomplishment. Here is the 2019 edition of the Mystics’ All-Time first and second teams!
