Valériane Ayayi on what it's like being with the Mercury."It feels amazing. More than the Mercury, it's about the people. I really love the people here. I feel like this is a family, and this is also why I chose to play for them."

Kyara Linskens about her impressions of the Mercury."I was really looking forward to this. Coming here, it's been a great organization. Everybody's been really great. It's been a little overwhelming. A lot of information in the first few days, but it's been great so far."

Valériane Ayayi to @YoungNBA about playing with Alyssa Thomas in the WNBA after being teammates in Prague."I feel like we are kind of the same player. That's why we have a lot of fun playing together because we can handle the ball, pass the ball. I might be shooting more than her, but this is kind of the same game that we love to play."

There's been a clear initiative on taking next steps with both the spacing process, as well as personnel within it all for the Mercury.

Adding Chloe Bibby (a career 40.5% 3-point shooter in 3 attempts per game) strikes that particular accord — in the frontcourt.

Alyssa Thomas on being excited for the Mercury’s spacing this year:“I think shooting is one thing Phoenix goes out and gets … I think people know when they play with me, they’re going to get open shots.”

Alyssa Thomas on the Mercury’s defense under Kristi Toliver:

“Kind of scary what we’re gonna be able to do defensively.”

AT also had high praise for Natasha Mack’s offseason growth, confidence and importance to this team.
