2018 WNBA Draft Big Board v. 4.0: Trade aftermath
7. Washington Mystics: Victoria Vivians, 6’1 F, Mississippi State
This has always felt like a great fit: Vivians provides the kind of elite scoring, creating her own shot, and elevated efficiency that Mike Thibault can easily integrate into his positionless basketball philosophy. Without Emma Meesseman in 2018, expect Vivians to shoulder a more significant share of the scoring load than most rookies. And she can punish defenses that understandably focus on Elena Delle Donne, either inside or out, both of them capable of scoring in a myriad of ways.
