Isabelle Harrison

Harrison played four seasons for the Wings between 2019 and 2022 but saw her role decline during the 2022 campaign as Teaira McCowan emerged as a dominant force. Harrison signed with the Sky before the 2023 season but underwent knee surgery in mid-May that ultimately forced her to miss the entire year. Prior to her injury, she was expected to serve as Chicago's center, but Elizabeth Williams claimed that job instead and performed admirably on both sides of the ball. Harrison has averaged 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 21.9 minutes per game over her last four seasons, so she'll presumably have an opportunity to take on a significant role as well, assuming she's healthy for the start of the regular season in 2024. With Alanna Smith and Morgan Bertsch playing elsewhere in 2024, Harrison should have a chance to take on a fairly sizable role. The Sky appear poised for a rebuilding period after trading several first-round picks to acquire Marina Mabrey last offseason, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the team lean on Harrison in the final year of her contract. The Sky will be playing with a new system under new head coach Teresa Weatherspoon in 2024, but the team emphasized its toughness in 2023. Harrison isn't as strong of a defender as Williams, but she still has intriguing fantasy potential as she prepares to make her belated team debut.

Harrison started 18 of Dallas' first 23 contests in 2022, posting 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 20.2 minutes per game during that span. However, Teaira McCowan emerged as a dominant force in the second half, which led to Harrison garnering a reduced role down the stretch. She averaged just 6.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes over her final 15 appearances (two starts). McCowan opted to stick with Dallas this offseason, and the Wings also signed Natasha Howard in free agency, leaving Harrison to sign with Chicago. Harrison projects to be the Sky's starting center to begin 2023, though that's contingent on her outperforming Astou Ndour-Fall and whether Emma Meesseman plays in the WNBA this season. If Harrison sees starter-level minutes, her scoring and rebounding prowess should make her a solid fantasy option.

Harrison had a resurgent season in 2021, averaging her most points (10.9) and rebounds (5.9) since her second season in the WNBA. She also shot a career-high 53.8 percent from the field and clearly benefited from the extra attention that Arike Ogunbowale drew. Harrison only started five of her 28 appearances last season, but she still played 23.8 minutes a game. Teaira McCowan, who was acquired by the Wings via trade this offseason, will likely be Dallas' starting center in 2022, and while Harrison still figures to be a key part of the rotation, her production is expected to decrease slightly.
