Sami Whitcomb

36-Year-Old GuardG
 Phoenix Mercury  WNBA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Whitcomb has had relatively consistent fantasy production for most of her career, but she had inconsistent results in 2024 and put up one of her worst performances since 2018. After spending the last two years in Seattle, the 36-year-old will get a fresh start in Phoenix in 2025. She'll likely be in the mix for a starting job since Diana Taurasi has retired, but Whitcomb's upside will remain limited if she's forced to settle for a bench role. Whitcomb shot a career-low 29.2 percent from beyond the arc last year, so her results should improve if her efficiency bounces back, but it seems as though she'll likely profile mainly as a streaming option in most fantasy formats this year.

Scores 17 points off bench
GPhoenix Mercury
June 21, 2025
Whitcomb contributed 17 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 107-86 victory over the Sky.
ANALYSIS
Whitcomb continues to be a force to be reckoned with offensively, as she has scored 16 or more points in three straight games. The veteran came off the bench for the second time this season but still logged 25 minutes, which she has done 10 times now during the 2025 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Whitcomb came off the bench in 21 of her first 22 appearances last year but started in Seattle's final 18 games of the season, taking a starting job from Kia Nurse. Whitcomb improved her three-point efficiency slightly by shooting 38.5 percent from long range, and she ranked 10th in the league with 2.2 made three-pointers per game. Overall, the 25-year-old averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 24.5 minutes per game during her first season back in Seattle following a two-year stint with the Liberty. However, the team added Skylar Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike ahead of the 2024 season. Whitcomb should still have opportunities to contribute, but her output will likely be more inconsistent. Whitcomb has proven to be capable of producing consistent fantasy results, but her role in 2024 could decline slightly given the team's offseason acquisitions.
Whitcomb didn't post a particularly efficient season from beyond the arc in 2022, finishing the year midpack, knocking down just 35.1 percent of her triple attempts, but she still ranked in the 93rd percentile in attempts (168). Whitcomb returns to Seattle for the 2023 campaign, and the new-look Storm will likely count on the seventh-year guard for a consistent scoring output without Breanna Stewart, who will trade places with Whitcomb and move to New York. Whitcomb also provides a little production in the assist column and sports a relatively clear path to regular playing time in Seattle.
During her first season with New York, Whitcomb averaged 11.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.1 minutes per game – all career-best numbers. The 5-foot-10 guard was also efficient from the field, shooting 47.3 percent overall and 42.5 percent from three – which were all career-high marks as well. She figures to build off her breakout performance during her second season with the Liberty and should once again be a key piece of the rotation.
