Emma Meesseman is one of the Washington Mystics’ biggest assets. Having her back on floor after playing with the Belgium women’s national team in Women’s EuroBasket has been a big help to Washington as a whole.
One thing that wasn’t for certain was whether Meesseman would eventually start or remain coming off the bench. Once she returned from EuroBasket, it became evident that Meesseman was best utilized as a reserve. There is a negative connotation with a player of Meesseman’s caliber being a bench player, especially since she is just 26-years old. But Meesseman is actually playing as well as any of Washington’s starters.
