I have a question. So I read that next year there will be a big free agency event (something to do with the new Tv Deal/CBA?). So it would make sense for the Vs to keep some of their financial powder dry until that happens in case they can snag someone special on the FA market flood next year. Assuming they are considering that, how might that affect their choices this year (expansion draft, draft, and FA)?
The obvious answer is that they will probably not overpay anyone or select anyone they consider overpaid but, in my quest to understand the nuances better, are there any more subtle choices the looming FA event might affect?
No strong opinions here, though I did watch quite a few Mercury games this year (spouse is a huge DT fan).
Taylor is definitely a dogged, twitchy defender. Really moves around screens, gets into ball handlers, etc. Not sure there’s a whole lot else to her game, though. Maybe. She is young.
Mack is a bouncy, athletic shot blocker. Maybe sort of Damian Jones-ish?
Herbert-Harrigan is (theoretically) a shooter, but she hasn’t played much.
