Kayla McBride

32-Year-Old GuardG
 Minnesota Lynx  WNBA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Even though the Lynx added guard Courtney Williams ahead of the 2024 campaign, McBride continued to be productive out of the backcourt, including averages of 15.0 points and 3.2 assists which were her highest marks since 2018. McBride's results have been remarkably consistent over her four years with Minnesota, and it seems unlikely that will change in 2025 since the team didn't have many additions or losses during the offseason. The 32-year-old has a high fantasy floor while occasionally flashing some upside, making her a worthwhile target in the early or middle rounds of drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Solid in return to lineup
GMinnesota Lynx
May 27, 2025
McBride finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 82-77 win over the Storm.
ANALYSIS
McBride was fairly efficient in her season debut after she missed the start of the year while tending to a personal matter, and her performances from the perimeter and free-throw line were particularly impressive. She committed three turnovers in the victory, but she also showed her defensive prowess by racking up two steals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
McBride turned in another consistent season in 2023, posting averages of 14.3 points, 3.2 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals while starting 38 games. The three-time All-Star saw a notable bump in three-point shooting, taking a career-high 6.4 per game and hitting at a 34.2 percent clip (2.2 makes per game). A proven veteran with a solid track record of health, McBride makes for a relatively safe fantasy investment as she enters her age-32 campaign. She'll occupy a starting backcourt spot for the Lynx and should again be in line for a heavy workload (31.8 MPG in 2022). While McBride may not be elite in any one area, she's a strong across-the-board contributor who adds value as one of the WNBA's elite free-throw shooters (career 89.5% FT).
McBride knows her lane and has kept in it throughout her lengthy career, averaging 13 points in both seasons with the Lynx and all but one campaign overall. She finished 2022 averaging 13.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 35.6 percent from deep, all in line with averages that have been relatively constant throughout her career. There's little reason to anticipate either a surge or dropoff in those numbers, though she lost her backcourt mate, Moriah Jefferson, to free agency. Tiffany Mitchell will instead join her, though it's unlikely that will have a significant impact overall. McBride is essentially a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option, providing stability in the middle rounds of drafts.
McBride joined the Lynx on a multi-year deal ahead of the 2021 campaign, and she served exclusively as a starter while appearing in every game for her new team. Her production remained consistent, averaging 13.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 31.6 minutes per game across 32 appearances. The 29-year-old had issues steadily generating offense early but finished the year by tallying double figures in 15 of her final 19 appearances. While McBride has shown just brief glimpses of fantasy upside during her career, she's averaged double-digit scoring totals in each of her first eight seasons in the league and has a relatively high fantasy floor while displaying plenty of consistency on a nightly basis. She'll continue to occupy a starting role in 2022 and should retain similar numbers to last year.
