10. Washington Mystics: Anriel Howard, 5’11 F, Mississippi State

Mississippi State keeps winning, and Anriel Howard is a primary reason why. She has enhanced her stock by going to play for Vic Schaefer, and credibly recreating Victoria Vivians’ 2017-18 season. Howard’s overall efficiency has climbed considerably, with an effective field goal percentage of 55, up from 45.8 percent last season. Her defensive work is indisputably elite, with steal and block rates north of two percent. She plays larger than her 5’11 height, rebounds extremely well, especially given how much else she does. And another positionless, multi-talented skill set on that Washington Mystics roster will make Mike Thibault’s team that much more dangerous on the heels of last year’s WNBA Finals appearance. Expect her to be used interchangeably with Ariel Atkins.
