2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith was productive as a rookie in 2022 and showed improvement in her second season, averaging 15.5 points and 9.2 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game. However, her usage decreased in 2024, as she averaged 10.6 points and 7.1 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game, and she'll get a fresh start in Dallas in 2025 after being traded in late January. Smith still showcased upside when given enough playing time in 2024, so she seems like a prime bounce-back candidate in 2025 as she joins a Wings frontcourt that lost Satou Sabally and Natasha Howard during the offseason. Smith doesn't generate excessive production outside of points and rebounds, but she's generally been consistent enough in those areas to have a solid fantasy floor as long as she receives enough playing time.

Concludes season with Aces in 2025
Smith appeared in 45 regular season games with Dallas and Las Vegas in 2025, averaging 8.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists over 27 games with the Aces.
ANALYSIS
Smith joined Las Vegas midway through the 2025 regular season after starting the year with Dallas before being traded to the Aces. She made a strong impact for Las Vegas right out of the gate upon her arrival, turning into a key contributor during the regular season and en route to a league title. Smith enters the offseason as a restricted free agent, meaning Las Vegas will have first dibs to bring her back in 2026.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The No. 2 overall pick in 2022 enjoyed a strong rookie season and built upon that success a year ago. In 31 appearances (28 starts), Smith posted 15.5 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. That was a notable increase from her rookie campaign when she shot 41.9 percent from the floor. Smith did take a step back as an outside threat, however, taking only 2.2 threes per game and hitting at a 28.4 percent clip - down from 3.0 and 38.1 percent, respectively, in 2022. Entering the 2024 season, Smith is a key piece of the Fever's young foundation alongside Aliyah Boston. Indiana will also add another big name -- perhaps Caitlin Clark -- with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The arrival of a player like Clark, or even Stanford's Cameron Brink, could cloud Smith's role going forward, but she has the upside to finish as a top-30 player in fantasy leagues. Smith provides a strong boost in points, boards and field-goal percentage, but she's not a great free-throw shooter (career 64.8% FT) and offers little in terms of defensive stats.
