Brittney Sykes' arrival was a home run considering the departure of Alysha Clark, who was this season's WNBA Sixth Player of the Year. Sykes wasn't just the defensive stopper that Washington expected her to be. She ended up being the Mystics' most consistent scorer too!
I also liked the growth Natasha Cloud showed this year where she averaged a career high in scoring and continued her high level of play in the postseason.
It's primarily because Washington was decimated by injuries in the frontcourt with franchise player Elena Delle Donne and rising star center Shakira Austin out for most of the middle of this season. Also, Ariel Atkins was out for much of this stretch.
