can recover the physical abilities to be a truly elite player going forward.
Those are pretty much my thoughts on EDD as well. Still a top talent but injuries and age have slowed her to the point that she probably can no longer be your team’s best player if you expect to compete for a championship.
The Mystics were without a key player in that Liberty series—Shakira Austin. They missed her defense and rebounding. Without her Jonquel Jones had her way on the boards. That offensive rebound by Jones after Ionescu missed those 2 free throws was a killer.
Not saying the Mystics would have won the series—just that Austin’s presence was missed.
