2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rivers didn't immediately have a prominent role in college, but she served exclusively as a starter at NC State over her final two seasons and displayed some improvement, especially as a playmaker. Over the last two years, she averaged 12.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals in 34.6 minutes per game, but she shot just 26.6 percent from beyond the arc, which could limit her professional potential as an option on the wing. Rivers joins a new-look roster that lost DiJonai Carrington and several frontcourt players during the offseason. Marina Mabrey also requested a trade in February, but the Sun seem unlikely to honor that request. Rivers should have an opportunity to compete with newly acquired Lindsay Allen and Jacy Sheldon for a role as a rookie. Even if Rivers doesn't carve out abundant playing time right away, the new-look team may test out different rotations throughout the season, which could make the NC State product an intriguing streaming option.

Struggles in start
GConnecticut Sun
May 26, 2025
Rivers ended with two points (1-5 FG), two rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Sunday's 79-55 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Rivers, who started her second game in a row for the Sun, couldn't build on her momentum from previous games. Rivers is averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks through three games, and she could continue to have more opportunities with Lindsay Allen (hamstring) currently sidelined.
