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
Traded to Chicago
GChicago Sky
July 17, 2024
The Sky acquired Banham, Moriah Jefferson (ankle), a 2025 first-round pick and the rights to swap 2026 first-round picks from the Sun on Wednesday in exchange for Marina Mabrey and a 2025 second-round pick.
ANALYSIS
A career 37 percent three-point shooter, Banham will give the Sky a much-needed perimeter threat. Banham had averaged 4.8 points and 1.2 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game over 21 appearances off the bench for the Sun 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.
