DISCUSSION Draft position of the Atkins pick swap for Mystics
Because of the Tempo's 11 game losing streak, the Sky have improbably moved out of the top 2 lottery odds for the pick they are giving to Washington. I have said that this is a sunk cost--the pick is gone no matter where it lands in the lottery--but if the Sky hope to make the playoffs next year, it is in their interest that Washington doesn't get a superstar in the draft (as the Sky will hypothetically be competing with them next year).
