Mystics, Shock, and Mercury Get In The 2013 Draft Lottery

Nate already posted a FanShot that the Storm got in the playoffs. The big story to me isn't so much about which team is getting in the Playoffs, but about the fact that three teams are now officially in the Draft Lottery. The Washington Mystics, the Tulsa Shock, and Phoenix Mercury will now have at least two of the coveted "Big Three" picks who are Brittney Griner of Baylor, Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame, and Elena Delle Donne of Delaware. So, feel free to talk about how either of the three picks could fit into any of these three teams! I'm on record saying that Diggins is the best fit for the Mystics, even though Griner would be the #1 pick either way. Also, what would or should the teams do if they are unlucky? The Chicago Sky or the New York Liberty will likely be the fourth member in the race, as they continue to fight for that last playoff spot/join in this potentially franchise changing draft sweepstakes. Technically, the Atlanta Dream could still be eliminated from the playoff race too, but I don't think that will happen.
