Phoenix Mercury

Team Needs: PF

Draft Preview: With the addition of Essence Carson, the Mercury are solid at spots 1-2-3 for 2019. The injury to Sancho Lyttle midseason likely cost the Mercury a 2018 Finals appearance and leaves them with a big hole at PF. The Mercury at #8 could have several options, including Stanford(& Australia native) Alanna Smith, UCONN's Napheesa Collier, Australia's Ezi Magbegor or Notre Dame's Brianna Turner. At #13, the Mercury could look to deepen their guard rotation or go for a big to back-up Griner. Possible picks could be West Virginia's Tynice Martin(*early entry), Iowa State's Bridget Carleton, China's Xu Han or Iowa's Megan Gustafson.
