Episode Details

It's very clear where the Washington Mystics are building to with a young core of Shakira Austin, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. But are the playoffs an aspirational goal for the team this season? That's what the players want.

Tyler is joined by his former beat-mate Kareem Copeland, now with ESPN, to preview the Mystics' season and discuss if head coach Sydney Johnson could put it all together with their young stars for a playoff run. They also bring attention to how important a season it is for both Austin and Georgia Amoore in their development and for the ceiling of this year's team. Then, they look at how the player development shift and how that is starting to permeate throughout the rest of the WNBA.
