Jordin Canada

Canada re-signed with the Sparks on a one-year deal ahead of the 2023 campaign and had one of the best years of her career while serving exclusively as a starter. The 28-year-old averaged 13.3 points, 6.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 32.6 minutes per game, all the best marks of her career. She shot just 17.2 percent from beyond the arc over the first five years of her career but converted 33.3 percent of her career-high 3.2 three-point attempts last season. She was designated as a core player by the Sparks ahead of the 2024 campaign, but the team executed a sign-and-trade move with the Dream in February. She'll join a talented roster that includes Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, as well as one of the most intriguing offseason signings in Tina Charles. Canada should have plenty of opportunities to maintain her success in the assists column with her new team, but her scoring potential will likely hinge on whether she can maintain her three-point volume and efficiency in 2024. Rhyne Howard attempted a team-high 7.2 three-pointers per game last year, but Canada could take over perimeter production nicely from Aari McDonald, who attempted 3.3 three-pointers per game last year and was traded to the Sparks this offseason. Canada should remain a reliable mid-round target in fantasy drafts, but her upside will likely depend on whether she maintains solid scoring production in Atlanta.

Canada served mainly as a starter with the Storm during her second WNBA season in 2019, but her role declined over the proceeding two. However, she joined the Sparks ahead of the 2022 campaign and had a resurgence in her production, averaging 9.2 points, 5.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game while starting in 25 of her 32 appearances. The 27-year-old had to settle for a training camp contract with Los Angeles ahead of the 2023 campaign and will have to compete with new addition Jasmine Thomas for a role in the backcourt, but if Canada can secure minutes with the Sparks once again, she's a decent fantasy sleeper.

Canada has seen her production drop in each of the last two years and had her qualifying offer rescinded by Seattle following the 2021 campaign. She signed a one-year contract with the Sparks this offseason and figures to be fighting for the final roster spot with Arella Guirantes, Lauren Cox and Jasmine Walker (knee). The 5-foot-6 guard has never been a prolific scorer, but she does bring elite defense, veteran leadership and a knack for getting her teammates involved. Barring numerous injuries, Canada isn't expected to garner a big enough role to be fantasy relevant during the 2022 campaign.
