Sami Whitcomb

37-Year-Old GuardG
 Phoenix Mercury  WNBA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Whitcomb has had relatively consistent fantasy production for most of her career, but she had inconsistent results in 2024 and put up one of her worst performances since 2018. After spending the last two years in Seattle, the 36-year-old will get a fresh start in Phoenix in 2025. She'll likely be in the mix for a starting job since Diana Taurasi has retired, but Whitcomb's upside will remain limited if she's forced to settle for a bench role. Whitcomb shot a career-low 29.2 percent from beyond the arc last year, so her results should improve if her efficiency bounces back, but it seems as though she'll likely profile mainly as a streaming option in most fantasy formats this year.

Leads bench in victory
GPhoenix Mercury
August 26, 2025
Whitcomb finished with 17 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-3 3Pt), four assists, four steals and two rebounds across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 92-84 win over the Sparks.
ANALYSIS
Whitcomb led the Mercury's second unit in points and finished as the team's third-leading scorer. The veteran guard delivered a bounce-back performance after shooting just 31.3 percent from the field in her previous three outings, knocking down at least five three-pointers for the fourth time this season. Whitcomb also chipped in a team- and season-high four steals, matching her career best.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Whitcomb came off the bench in 21 of her first 22 appearances last year but started in Seattle's final 18 games of the season, taking a starting job from Kia Nurse. Whitcomb improved her three-point efficiency slightly by shooting 38.5 percent from long range, and she ranked 10th in the league with 2.2 made three-pointers per game. Overall, the 25-year-old averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 24.5 minutes per game during her first season back in Seattle following a two-year stint with the Liberty. However, the team added Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike ahead of the 2024 season. Whitcomb should still have opportunities to contribute, but her output will likely be more inconsistent. Whitcomb has proven to be capable of producing consistent fantasy results, but her role in 2024 could decline slightly given the team's offseason acquisitions.
Whitcomb didn't post a particularly efficient season from beyond the arc in 2022, finishing the year midpack, knocking down just 35.1 percent of her triple attempts, but she still ranked in the 93rd percentile in attempts (168). Whitcomb returns to Seattle for the 2023 campaign, and the new-look Storm will likely count on the seventh-year guard for a consistent scoring output without Breanna Stewart, who will trade places with Whitcomb and move to New York. Whitcomb also provides a little production in the assist column and sports a relatively clear path to regular playing time in Seattle.
During her first season with New York, Whitcomb averaged 11.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.1 minutes per game – all career-best numbers. The 5-foot-10 guard was also efficient from the field, shooting 47.3 percent overall and 42.5 percent from three – which were all career-high marks as well. She figures to build off her breakout performance during her second season with the Liberty and should once again be a key piece of the rotation.
