Veronica Burton

24-Year-Old GuardG
 Connecticut Sun  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The seventh overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, Burton is coming off her sophomore season. She appeared in all 40 games, averaging 2.4 points, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 rebounds in 13.9 minutes. The biggest area of improvement for Burton going forward needs to be her efficiency. She shot just 29.4 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from deep last season. Passing and defense are a strength for the young guard, however. She averaged 5.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per 40 minutes as a sophomore. If she can increase her workload and efficiency in Year 3, she’ll have some fantasy upside. Read Past Outlooks
Slight uptick in scoring in 2024
GConnecticut Sun
October 31, 2024
Burton averaged 3.1 points, 1.9 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 0.5 steals in 12.6 minutes per game over 31 regular-season appearances (one start) with the Sun in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Burton was surprisingly let go by the Wings ahead of the 2024 campaign, but she signed with the Sun in early June and carved out relatively consistent minutes off the bench. She wasn't a reliable fantasy option from a season-long perspective, but she saw some glimpses of production that made her a decent streaming option. She'll be a reserved player during the offseason, so she'll only be allowed to negotiate with the Sun, unless she's released by the team.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Wings selected Burton with the seventh overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, and she settled into primarily a fluctuating bench role as a rookie. However, she started nine of her final 10 appearances and averaged 5.9 points, 3.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 24.2 minutes per game, all up from her season-long averages. While her increased production as a starter was encouraging, her role emerged when Arike Ogunbowale was sidelined due to an abdominal injury. Ogunbowale should be healthy to begin the 2023 campaign, and the Wings also signed Crystal Dangerfield to a multi-year deal during the offseason. Burton is primarily a defensive-minded option, so even if she maintains a regular bench role in 2023, she's unlikely to be a significant fantasy contributor.
