Courtney Williams

30-Year-Old GuardG
 Minnesota Lynx  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams played for three teams over her first six seasons in the WNBA, and she joined a Sky team in a transition stage ahead of the 2023 campaign. She handled a prominent role in Chicago, averaging 10.4 points, 6.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game while appearing in every matchup. She now joins a Lynx squad that has been active during the offseason, including trading for Natisha Hiedeman. Williams will presumably serve as Minnesota's starting point guard while Hiedeman operates as a reserve, and Williams will get to play alongside Alanna Smith once again after the duo put together solid stat lines in Chicago last year.

Struggles in quiet Game 5 outing
GMinnesota Lynx
October 21, 2024
Williams closed Sunday's 67-62 loss to the Liberty with four points (2-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Williams tried to find her shot in Sunday's winner-take-all Game 5 but wasn't able to get anything going while connecting on just 14.3% of her shot attempts while failing to record more than five points in a losing effort. Williams' scoring total was the lowest of the postseason and just the third time she failed to reach double figures. Over five games in the WNBA Finals, Williams recorded 13.8 points, 6.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 31.4 minutes. In her first season in Minnesota in 2024, Williams tallied 11.1 points, 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals over all 40 regular season contests.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Williams returned to the Sun last season after a two-year stint with the Dream, but now she'll be moving again - this time to the Sky. In 28.0 minutes per game last season, the guard averaged 11.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals. She struggled with efficiency, with 43/34/75 shooting splits. This may be an opportunity for her to step into an expanded role, as the Sky lost Candace Parker, Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley during the offseason. Two years ago, Williams averaged 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.4 minutes, which is what optimistic fantasy managers can hope for in 2023.
Williams signed a one-year deal with the Sun this offseason after a career year with the Dream in 2021. She averaged 16.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.4 minutes per game across 34 starts in Atlanta, but the Dream opted not to retain the guard due to her in-season altercation with former teammate Crystal Bradford. The situation came to light following the conclusion of last season, so the WNBA handed Williams a two-game suspension this offseason, meaning she won't make her season debut until the Sun's third contest (May 17 versus the Liberty). When available, she should hold down a starting role, though the Sun will return plenty of talent from a contending squad last year and will likely have a healthy Alyssa Thomas after Thomas missed the majority of 2021 due to an Achilles injury.
