Veronica Burton

24-Year-Old GuardG

2025 Fantasy Outlook
After two seasons in Dallas, Burton was let go and joined Connecticut for the 2024 campaign. Burton had a slow start with the Sun, but she eventually found a role and averaged 16.2 minutes per game over the final 31 contests, including the postseason. After being selected by the Valkyries in the WNBA Expansion Draft this offseason, Burton is competing for backcourt minutes with Tiffany Hayes, Julie Vanloo, Kate Martin and Cecilia Zandalasini. Given their experience, Hayes and Vanloo will likely open the 2025 season as starters. However, Golden State's rotation is subject to change nightly as the WNBA's newest team acclimates to the league. Burton has never been a reliable fantasy contributor, but she's also never played more than 15.2 minutes per game in a season, which she could easily clear with her new squad. Read Past Outlooks
Scores 13 points in loss

May 27, 2025
Burton closed Tuesday's 95-67 loss to the Liberty with 13 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old tied the team-high mark in points while receiving a slight bump in minutes due to Tiffany Hayes (nose) being sidelined for a second straight game. Burton was inefficient in the blowout loss, though she did record a team-high six assists. The fourth-year guard has also recorded double-digit steals in all four of the club's regular-season matchups thus far.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The seventh overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, Burton is coming off her sophomore season. She appeared in all 40 games, averaging 2.4 points, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 rebounds in 13.9 minutes. The biggest area of improvement for Burton going forward needs to be her efficiency. She shot just 29.4 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from deep last season. Passing and defense are a strength for the young guard, however. She averaged 5.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per 40 minutes as a sophomore. If she can increase her workload and efficiency in Year 3, she’ll have some fantasy upside.
The Wings selected Burton with the seventh overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, and she settled into primarily a fluctuating bench role as a rookie. However, she started nine of her final 10 appearances and averaged 5.9 points, 3.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 24.2 minutes per game, all up from her season-long averages. While her increased production as a starter was encouraging, her role emerged when Arike Ogunbowale was sidelined due to an abdominal injury. Ogunbowale should be healthy to begin the 2023 campaign, and the Wings also signed Crystal Dangerfield to a multi-year deal during the offseason. Burton is primarily a defensive-minded option, so even if she maintains a regular bench role in 2023, she's unlikely to be a significant fantasy contributor.
