I follow the WNBA more closely than I do WCBB, which is already a lot. It's a smart move. Taurasi can run the point, but she's really a 2 guard. Penny Taylor retired. DRob's speed is exactly how the Mercury want to go. Perfect move. San Antonio already has Moriah Jefferson, so it's an easy trade to make. San Antonio wants that 5th pick for trading possibility or to increase their chances of getting another promising young post (if Coates doesn't go to them at 1 and everyone else passes - there are a few other posts to consider as well, e.g. Bri Jones - Maryland), whereas the Mercury looks at this draft and cuts their losses. It isn't a particularly strong draft. Next year, however, will be fantastic.
