Veronica Burton finished Sunday’s Commissioner’s Cup loss to the Lynx with 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers.
Limited to two points on 1-of-7 shooting in Thursday’s loss to the Liberty, Burton bounced back nicely on Sunday. The 21 points were one shy of her season-high, and the point guard also provided value in the rebound, assist and steals categories. Burton may not have been on many fantasy managers’ radars at draft time, but she has emerged as a player who should be rostered in standard leagues. A top-50 player over the last seven days, she’s rostered in just over 55 percent of ESPN leagues.
