The Seattle Storm announced they waived veteran guard Lexie Brown on Monday afternoon, after she spent the past two seasons with the organization. Brown, who is 31, had averaged 3.8 points in 14.8 minutes per game, while shooting 45% from three.

Brown is someone who can space the floor — she’s a 35.4% career three-point shooter — and she’s also a ball-handler. While she could find herself on the outside looking in, here are three teams that could stand to benefit from Lexie Brown’s addition to the roster.
1. Los Angeles Sparks: The Sparks could use another backup guard behind Kelsey Plum. Brown, at her best, is a plus defender and a good three-point shooter. The Sparks are shooting 32.7% from three on the season, and Brown could help boost that figure.
2. Phoenix Mercury: The Mercury are shooting just 31.3% from three, the fourth-worst rate in the league. They’ve also just been generally terrible — their 4-9 record is the third-worst in the WNBA.
3. Washington Mystics: The Mystics are shooting 29.7% from three (third-worst in the league) and making 5.7 threes per game (second-least). They’re also the youngest team in the WNBA. So, they could bring Brown in as a veteran presence who has been a part of a WNBA championship, as well as someone who can help space the floor.
