Alanna Smith

Smith had relatively limited production over her first four seasons in the league but stepped into a prominent role during her first season with the Sky in 2023. The 27-year-old came off the bench in her first three appearances of the year but claimed a starting job when Morgan Bertsch sustained an injury and didn't relinquish that job down the stretch, even when Bertsch was cleared to return. Smith wasn't particularly dominant in any particular area but generally had enough production in the scoring and rebounding columns to generate solid fantasy lines. The 27-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game, all the best marks of her career by a considerable margin. In 2024, she may have to settle for a reserve role in Minnesota since the team has Napheesa Collier, Diamond Miller (knee), Jessica Shepard (ankle) and Dorka Juhasz in the frontcourt, but it's also possible Tiffany Mitchell shifts to the bench. Regardless of her starting status, Smith should still be able to carve out her fair share of playing time with her new team.
