Kelsey Mitchell is a combo guard at best: her assist/TO ratio is below 1.00, hardly what you want from a point guard.
If you want simply the best passer, it's Niya Johnson, but she's a weak scorer with no outside shot.
Lindsay Allen doesn't do anything significantly better than Moriah Jefferson.
I feel it's between Moriah Jefferson or Samantha Logic. I wouldn't grumble if either won.
