2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Cut by Wings
GFree Agent
May 12, 2024
Burton was waived by Dallas on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Burton will not make the Wings' regular-season roster, a surprising development after she appeared in all 40 games for Dallas in 2023. Her release should open up more opportunities for Jaelyn Brown, Jacy Sheldon, Lou Lopez Senechal and Sevgi Uzun.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.
