We asked Mystics players, former interim coach Jessie Kenlaw, and Mystics owner, Sheila Johnson, what they think the Mystics team needs to win, and to be a significant playoff contender.

Sheila Johnson, team owner.

“We need a big person, another point guard – we need everything.   We are just going to assess everything to see what we need to do.”

Jessie Kenlaw, former interim coach.

“We need to evaluate each position on the team", said Kenlaw.

“There needs to be some significant changes in personnel and I think that there has to be a good balance of experience and youth.”

"You got to have a really strong point guard, and good consistent #5 player, a #3 that can defend."

Kenlaw stated that she was not in the position to say at what level the changes in personnel  need to be made, but further stated,  “If you want to win next season, I think you’re going to really have to take a close look at what needs to be done.“

“I’m sure at my exit interview, I’ll give my opinion.”

Tasha Humphrey, Mystics center.

“We just need to regroup and fill in the missing parts.”

[Humphrey says she plans to get better as a basketball player, and is planning to play in Israel in the off season].

Bernice Mosby, Mystics forward.

“This team has a lot of heart.” 

“I don’t know what we need."

"Hopefully we’ll figure it out in the off season.  It’s not for me to say.  Ultimately it’s up to the general manager, and coaches.”   

[Mosby also plans to head overseas to play basketball during the offseason.]

Up next….an interview with Jessie Kenlaw.
