2024 Fantasy Outlook
After spending her rookie season with the Sparks, Nelson-Ododa was traded and played for the Sun last year as a sophomore. She set career highs essentially across the board, averaging 4.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 0.6 assists and 0.5 steals while shooting 53.7 percent from the field and 70.8 percent from the charity stripe. Notably, she had a 20-point, 11-rebound, two-block performance in 35 minutes against Chicago on Sep. 10. Nelson-Ododa is already showing upside as an efficient scorer who can provide rebounds and defensive stats. Per 40 minutes, she averaged 9.9 rebounds (3.4 offensive), 2.3 blocks and 1.4 steals. She should continue to have opportunities to contribute in 2024, but her role will depend on whether Brionna Jones is fully healthy to begin the regular season. Read Past Outlooks
Maintains reserve role in 2024
CConnecticut Sun
October 31, 2024
Nelson-Ododa averaged 3.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 11.8 minutes per game over 37 regular-season appearances with the Sun in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Nelson-Ododa played exclusively off the bench for a second consecutive season in 2024, and she saw a slight decrease in production compared to her first year with the Sun in 2023. She's one of a handful of players who will remain under contract with Connecticut in 2025, and she could have a slightly more consistent fantasy impact if the Sun are unable to attract much star talent in the frontcourt.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Nelson-Ododa carved out a regular role in the Sparks' rotation as a rookie in 2022, tallying 4.0 points and 2.9 rebounds over 14.5 minutes per game in her 30 appearances (six starts). Nelson-Ododa was efficient around the rim when she was on the court, connecting on 56.0 percent of her field-goal attempts (96th percentile in WNBA), snagging 3.1 offensive boards per 40 minutes (90th percentile) and supplying 2.2 blocks per 40 (95th percentile). The Sparks shipped Nelson-Ododa to the Sun this offseason, where she should provide some frontcourt depth behind Brionna Jones with Jonquel Jones no longer part of the picture. Nelson-Ododa should serve as a rim protector again in 2023, but she would likely need an expansion of minutes that is unlikely to come with the Sun to cross the threshold into fantasy relevance in many formats.
