Crystal Dangerfield

26-Year-Old GuardG
 Los Angeles Sparks  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dangerfield finished her first campaign in Dallas with her best season-long averages since her rookie year in 2020, when she burst onto the scene averaging 16.2 points, 3.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 30.0 minutes per game across 21 appearances (19 starts) for Minnesota. She didn't quite match those numbers in 2023, averaging 8.2 points, 3.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 35 appearances (32 starts), but it was still good enough for her to flirt with top-50 status. She appeared to be in position to compete for a starting role in the Wings' backcourt to begin the 2024 season but was traded to Atlanta in early May. Dangerfield's role with the Dream will presumably depend on whether Jordin Canada moves past her hand injury to begin the regular season and how the workload is distributed between Dangerfield and Haley Jones. However, if Canada is healthy early in the regular season, Dangerfield could see her production regress slightly with her new team. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles with consistency in 2024
GLos Angeles Sparks
September 23, 2024
Dangerfield averaged 3.2 points, 1.9 assists, 1.1 rebounds, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks across 13.4 minutes per game in 33 appearances (10 starts) during the 2024 season.
ANALYSIS
Dangerfield was acquired by the Dream via trade prior to the 2024 season. In her short tenure with the club, she averaged 3.1 points, 1.7 assists and 1.1 rebounds across 14.1 minutes per game in 15 outings. However, she never found a consistent role with the club and the Dream let her go June 26th. This allowed the guard to join the Sparks on a seven-day hardship contract by July 4th. The 26-year-old ended up signing three seven-day hardship contracts with the club before eventually joining the team on a rest-of-season hardship contract. During her 18-game stint with the Sparks, Dangerfield averaged 3.3 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds across 12.7 minutes per game. The seven-year veteran will hit the free agency market in hopes of latching on to a team before the start of the 2025 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Dangerfield spent three games with the Fever last season on a hardship deal before signing with the Liberty and finishing the season there. She started 27 of her 30 appearances with New York, averaging 5.4 points, 2.5 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 22.1 minutes. However, she was inefficient, slashing 40/32/70. Maybe the strongest aspect of her game is her passing ability combined with her low turnover rate (0.9), making her poor shooting less damaging. During the offseason, Dangerfield was dealt to the Wings, where she signed a multi-year deal. Dallas presumably hopes Dangerfield can make strides this season, but there will only be so many touches available in the backcourt playing alongside Arike Ogunbowale, and the Wings have other solid scoring options in Natasha Howard, Satou Sabally, Diamond DeShields (when healthy) and Teaira McCowan.
Dangerfield had strong expectations heading into 2021 after averaging 16.2 points and 3.6 assists in 30.0 minutes per game while starting all but two games during her rookie season. However, she ceded her starting job early in her sophomore campaign when Minnesota signed Layshia Clarendon, and the second-year player was unable to generate the same consistency that she displayed as a rookie. Heading into her third season in the league, Dangerfield seems likely to slot into a reserve role at guard again. Even if she does emerge into a starting role again, her efficiency will need to bounce back if she hopes to become a reliable fantasy option. Dangerfield's fantasy results are dependent on her scoring, and her field-goal percentage was down to 38.8 percent last year after shooting 47.1 percent from the floor as a rookie. She also attempted fewer field goals per game (7.2) last year than during her rookie campaign (12.5).
