Kayla Thornton

Thornton started 25 of 31 appearances in 2021 and averaged 7.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.6 minutes per game during the 2021 campaign. The 29-year-old forward figures to once again operate as the No. 2 forward behind Satou Sabally and should continue to be a consistent producer, though her lack of prolific performances limits her fantasy upside heading into 2022. It's possible that the addition of Teaira McCowan shifts Thornton to the bench, but regardless, she'll likely still be a key part of the Wings' rotation for a sixth consecutive season.
