2022 WNBA Draft: Our reactions to the Mystics trading their No. 1 draft pick away

The Washington Mystics have traded the No. 1 pick to the Atlanta Dream for the No. 13 and No. 14 picks in this year’s draft. We had a quick roundtable, which is below.

Albert: Now that the trade is done, I have two questions:

1. Is this trade worth it? It didn’t seem like Rhyne Howard or NaLyssa Smith were going to be starters on this year’s roster, assuming the Mystics don’t have a bunch of injuries again like last season.

2. The Mystics have the right to swap picks with Atlanta’s acquired pick from the Sparks in a separate trade.
