Rae Burrell

Burrell has played mainly off the bench during her time in the WNBA, but she's seen her production increase in each of the last three seasons. Most recently, she averaged 7.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per game across 28 regular-season appearances (one start) with the Sparks in 2025. She's profiled mainly as a streaming option during her four-year career, but she established a relatively high floor last year and warrants late-round consideration ahead of the 2026 campaign. The 25-year-old received a reserved qualifying offer from Los Angeles in April, so the Sparks had exclusive negotiating rights with her, and she'll officially remain with the team in 2026. While she's seen her role grow in recent years, her usage in 2026 will depend on how the minutes are distributed between Burrell, Erica Wheeler, Julie Vanloo, Ta'Niya Latson and Sevgi Uzun behind Kelsey Plum and Ariel Atkins.
