Dana Evans

25-Year-Old GuardG
 Chicago Sky  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Sky lost several significant players ahead of the 2023 season, leading to some speculation that Evans could take on a starting role. She ultimately came off the bench in 38 of her 39 appearances last year but was one of the team's most prominent reserves, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game. The Sky will likely be in a rebuilding phase once again in 2024 after trading Kahleah Copper to Phoenix and losing Courtney Williams in free agency to Minnesota. Evans had career-best marks in most areas last season, but her fantasy potential in 2024 could be somewhat dependent on whether she's able to earn a starting role. She's capable of providing a spark if she can win a starting spot during training camp, but her upside will be somewhat limited if she continues to come off the bench. Read Past Outlooks
Could serve as starting point guard
GChicago Sky
February 1, 2024
Evans appears to be the favorite to serve as Chicago's starting point guard to begin the 2024 season, Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sky lost Courtney Williams via free agency after she signed with the Lynx on Thursday, but Chicago signed point guard Lindsay Allen. However, the Sky were unable to acquire Skylar Diggins-Smith, Natasha Cloud or Jordin Canada. Allen has proven to be capable of handling starting point guard duties in Minnesota, but Evans had a career-best year in 2023, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game despite coming off the bench in 38 of her 39 appearances. Evans has successfully provided a spark as a reserve in recent seasons, but she appears to have a viable path toward a starting job in 2024, even with Allen in the fold.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Evans had a small role off the bench in 2022, averaging 4.3 points and 1.2 assists in 11.5 minutes across 33 appearances. However, she may be asked to step up for a Chicago team that lost high-usage playmakers Candace Parker and Courtney Vandersloot during the offseason. Depending on how the lineup shakes out, Evans could claim a starting role in the backcourt. At the very least, she should have a more regular role off the bench. For her career, she's taken over half her shots from three, converting at a rate of 35.7 percent. That's where she could benefit fantasy teams the most, though her career rate of 4.3 assists per 36 minutes is solid as well.
Evans began 2021 with the Wings before being traded in early June to Chicago, where she settled into a bench role. The rookie guard finished her partial season with the Sky tallying 3.9 points and 1.2 assists over 8.6 minutes per game. It doesn't appear promising that her role will be any more significant in 2022, given Chicago's addition of Jule Allemand via trade from the Fever, but Evans could see more time on the floor should other backcourt options miss time.
