2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hamby served as a part-time starter in her first year with the Sparks in 2023, but she operated exclusively as a starter in 2024 after Nneka Ogwumike signed with the Storm. Hamby responded with a career-best season, averaging 17.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.7 minutes per game while appearing in every matchup for a second consecutive season, and she finished the season second to DiJonai Carrington in Most Improved Player voting. Even though Cameron Brink missed most of her rookie season due to a knee injury, Hamby was dominant when the two shared the court and should maintain plenty of opportunities even if Brink is healthy in 2025.

Turns in fantastic stat line
FLos Angeles Sparks
May 27, 2025
Hamby amassed 28 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 88-82 loss to the Dream.
ANALYSIS
Hamby became the only player in WNBA history to post a stat line of at least 28 points with eight assists, six rebounds and four steals in a single game. Despite the heroics, the Sparks were unable to avoid another loss. Hamby and Kelsey Plum are playing at a high level, but the dynamic duo could certainly use a tertiary option to help them out. They should get some assistance once Rickea Jackson is able to shed her limitations following her three-game absence.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After a tumultuous end to her tenure in Las Vegas, Hamby landed on her feet with the Sparks and maintained relatively consistent production despite giving birth ahead of the 2023 season. She started in 32 of her 34 appearances with the Aces in 2022 but started in just 19 of her 40 appearances with Los Angeles last year. However, her playing time remained relatively steady, as she averaged 8.9 points and 5.9 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game. However, Hamby's role in 2024 depends on several factors. First, her role could increase since Nneka Ogwumike has departed via free agency. The Sparks will also be getting Stephanie Talbot back in 2024 and have the second and fourth overall picks in this year's draft, which could cut into Hamby's playing time. Regardless of whether Hamby takes on a starting role in 2024, she's had consistent playing time over the past five seasons and will likely maintain consistent minutes this year, which would at least make her a solid mid-round fantasy consideration.
Hamby announced her pregnancy during the Aces' championship parade last September, so it's unclear if she'll be ready for a full workload to start the 2023 campaign. She had five straight solid campaigns with Las Vegas before being traded to the Sparks this offseason in exchange for Amanda Zahui B. Los Angeles has lost Katie Lou Samuelson (pregnancy) and Stephine Talbot (knee) for the season but added Hamby and Azura Stevens to a frontcourt that already featured Nneka Ogwumike and Chiney Ogwumike. When available, Hamby should claim a sizable role with her new squad, and given her scoring efficiency, rebounding prowess and defensive playmaking, she'll be a quality fantasy asset in 2023. Hamby's participation late in preseason bodes well for her chances of making an early return to regular action, potentially even the season opener.
Hamby has played solely off the bench across the last two seasons, but she's claimed consistent playing time and logged 20-plus minutes in all but two of those regular-season appearances. She averaged 11.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game despite shooting just 25 percent from beyond the arc. Hamby couldn't secure a three-peat of the Sixth Player of the Year award after winning it in 2019 and 2020, but she should challenge for the honor again if she doesn't end up with a starting spot with Kiah Stokes and Kelsey Plum for a starting role heading into the 2022 campaign. Even if she continues to come off the bench, her performance across the last three seasons makes her worthy of fantasy consideration in most leagues.
