The new era of Phoenix Mercury basketball is here, and we’re breaking down everything we learned from Game 1 of the preseason! PHNX Mercury is back as Erika and Stephen dive into the first look at the Mercury’s Big 3 of Kahleah Copper, Alyssa Thomas, and Satou Sabally.

We’re talking roster cuts, starting lineup decisions, shot profile trends, Big 3 usage, defensive identity, and the intense battle for those final guard spots.

Plus — taking the powerhouse Las Vegas Aces down to the wire on A’ja Wilson’s A’One night? Yeah, we’ve got thoughts.
