2024 Fantasy Outlook
Banham handled an inconsistent bench role for Minnesota last season and finished with modest averages, but her long-distance shooting is intriguing and puts her on fantasy radars. After four years with the Lynx, Banham is set to join the Sun. The expectation is that she'll be competing for a bench role, so she doesn't need to be a priority in fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Nets 20 in preseason debut
GConnecticut Sun
May 10, 2024
Banham turned in 20 points (7-13 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steals in 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 82-79 loss to the Liberty.
ANALYSIS
After signing with the Sun in the offseason, Banham shined in their preseason debut by leading all scorers while shooting a blistering 6-for-10 from long range. She averaged just 5.5 points per game coming off the bench for the Lynx last season but showed that she has more to offer and will likely be a great addition to the Sun's rotation this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Banham compiled one of the better campaigns of her career in 2022 and re-signed with the Lynx this offseason, hoping to recapture a similar role. Over a career-high 17.5 minutes per game, Banaham also turned in a career-best mark in the scoring column, averaging 7.9 points on the back of a career-best 1.6 three-point makes per game. Minnesota didn't make any splash backcourt moves in free agency, adding Tiffany Mitchell and re-signing Lindsay Allen and Bridget Carleton, but Diamond Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, could siphon away some playing time from Banham. Even if she finds minutes off the bench, Banham's career-best campaign seems unlikely to extend much further, so she's likely a late-round fantasy pick or waiver-wire add in most leagues.
Banham appeared exclusively off the bench during her second season with the Lynx in 2021 and averaged 5.0 points and 1.6 assists in 12.6 minutes per game. She rejoined Minnesota on a training camp contract in February and should compete for one of the final spots on the team's roster. Even if she holds on to a roster spot, Banham may not see the necessary playing time to garner fantasy consideration in most formats.
