2026 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 12 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, James was thrust into a major role in the middle of the season due to injuries. From June 20 through July 13, James averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes per game. However, outside of this stretch, she never strung together consecutive games in double digits. James could carve out a consistent rotational role in Year 2, but she'll have plenty of competition for minutes since the Wings brought back Arike Ogunbowale and drafted Azzi Fudd first overall to play alongside Paige Bueckers.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
James was a strong scoring threat over her four seasons at NC State, and she was selected by the Wings at the end of the first round of this year's draft. The 22-year-old fits well with the Wings' style of play but will likely struggle to find opportunities behind Arike Ogunbowale and No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers, while new acquisitions DiJonai Carrington and Tyasha Harris could also be prioritized in the rotation. James is a threat from the perimeter, as she shot 33.8 percent on 6.1 three-point attempts per game over her final two seasons with the Wolfpack. This could help her provide a spark off the bench, but it seems unlikely that James will have enough playing time as a rookie to be a fantasy-relevant option.
