In the last two Wizards’ seasons, there has been a debate about where then-Washington point guard Tomas Satoransky fit into Washington’s plans. Since his first NBA season in 2016-17, he was always viewed as a complementary piece and as John Wall’s backup. But when Wall began to suffer numerous injuries while Satoransky proved to be a good point guard in his own right, fans openly debated whether he was a suitable replacement.
That’s a moot point now, of course.
The Mystics sort of have a similar situation on their hands. Emma Meesseman has played for them since 2013 and was an All-Star in 2015.
