Entering the WNBA Expansion Draft, most of the protected players by the Washington Mystics could remain the same, with potential changes focused around Elena Delle Donne's trade value.
While General Manager Mike Thibault’s departure has shifted strategy, Michael Winger is likely to maintain a protective stance on key players but may consider leaving Delle Donne available.
Winger's priorities in the draft will center on maximizing trade value for the franchise, indicating he might protect players such as Brittney Sykes and Ariel Atkins over Delle Donne.
The potential for Delle Donne’s selection by the Golden State Valkyries presents a fresh opportunity for a talented player and a strategic reset for the Mystics.
