Brianna Turner

28-Year-Old ForwardF
 Chicago Sky  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Turner is known for her elite defense and strong rebounding skills. Her playing time took a dramatic hit in 2023, as her 26.3 minutes per game were her fewest since 2019, but Turner still finished inside the top-40 fantasy players for a fourth straight campaign. This offseason, Turner was traded to Chicago, along with Michaela Onyenwere and four draft picks, in the blockbuster deal that sent Kahleah Copper to Phoenix. Isabelle Harrison and Diamond DeShields both missed 2023 due to knee injuries, so their health in 2024 will be key in determining the Sky's frontcourt rotation. However, if Turner is a regular starter, she should be a quality fantasy option given her elite production in multiple categories, but her ceiling is limited due to her lack of offensive firepower.

Sees inconsistent playing time
FChicago Sky
September 25, 2024
Across 27 games (two starts) for the Sky in 2024, Turner averaged 1.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals across 9.4 minutes per game.
ANALYSIS
Turner was traded from the Mercury to the Sky in February in a package centered around Kahleah Copper and the No. 3 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft, which Chicago used to select Kamilla Cardoso. Turner logged DNPs throughout the season and only saw the floor during garbage time. She did see her playing time uptick late in the season, including two starts in the Sky's final two games of the regular season. Turner will be able to sign with any team during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
With Brittney Griner unlawfully detained in Russia, Turner saw elevated playing time in 2022 with a career-high 33.4 minutes per game, but her production took a step back playing in the center role, averaging just 4.3 points and 6.8 rebounds, her lowest marks since her rookie season. She was slightly more effective on the defensive side of the ball with 2.8 combined blocks/steals, but her overall fantasy value was limited. While Tina Charles left the team last season, Brittney Griner's expected return to the Mercury should shift Turner's role in the frontcourt back to her regular spot, albeit with a likely reduction in mintues. Turner should continue to start and could bounce back on the boards after averaging 9.2 rebounds per game between the 2020 and 2021 seasons. However, fantasy managers drafting her for her defensive abilities will have to settle for her low ceiling on offense.
Turner has turned into a valuable frontcourt piece for the Mercury over the last two seasons, starting all 54 regular-season contests. Turner works exclusively in the post, with 86.7 percent of her scoring coming in the paint (highest in the league) and the other 13.3 percent coming from the free-throw line. The team's addition of Tina Charles this offseason gives the Mercury's frontcourt more spacing options. Turner could also step into a larger role if Britney Griner, who tallied 62.1 percent of her points in the paint, is unavailable for part or all of the season. Turner is among the better rebounders in the league, sporting a rebound rate (14.9 percent) that ranked sixth among players who averaged at least 15 minutes per game.
