2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ionescu took a step forward during her third professional season in 2022, but her stats went in the wrong direction in 2023 as the Liberty formed a superteam. She averaged 17.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 31.5 minutes per game last year, with her rebounding and assist marks being the lowest of her career. However, she thrived from beyond the arc in her new role. She attempted 7.9 three-pointers per game and shot 44.8 percent from beyond the arc, both the best marks of her career. As a result, Ionescu led the league with 3.6 made three-pointers per game. The Liberty will retain Jonquel Jones in 2024 while also bringing back Breanna Stewart. While Ionescu's upside will likely remain somewhat limited as long as she has plenty of star power around her, she proved last year that she can still be one of the league's premier fantasy contributors and heads into 2024 with a high floor.

Dealt with injury during Finals
GNew York Liberty
October 20, 2023
Ionescu said Friday she suffered a hip injury during Game 4 of the Semifinals matchup versus Connecticut and had to get an injection to play in the first two games of the WNBA Finals, Khristina Williams of MSG Network reports.
ANALYSIS
In six postseason games before the injury, Ionescu averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists. However, after the injury, she averaged just 9.6 points and scored in double figures just twice across five contests. The injury clearly impacted Ionescu's effectiveness during the Liberty's postseason run, but it shouldn't impact her availability for the 2024 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Ionescu turned in her strongest season to date in 2022, racking up 17.4 points, 7.1 boards, 6.4 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while playing in all 36 regular-season games. However, the Liberty completely overhauled the team's landscape in the offseason, including the addition of veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot. With Vandersloot on board, Ionescu will likely move off the ball in the starting lineup. However, that isn't unfamiliar territory for Ionescu, who played her final three collegiate seasons alongside point guard Maite Cazorla at Oregon and still compiled her best three campaigns in terms of assists during those years. Ionescu could experience a minor downturn in scoring and rebounding production following the additions of frontcourt stars Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones, but she can still contribute in numerous areas and should remain a highly-regarded fantasy asset entering 2023.
In her first full WNBA season, Ionescu averaged 11.7 points, 6.1 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game. She shot 37.9 percent from the field, 32.5 percent from three and 91.1 percent from the free-throw line. The 5-foot-11 guard finished the season strong, scoring in double figures in 12 straight games, including a 14 point, 11 assist double-double in her first and only career playoff contest. While she wasn't the leading scorer for the Liberty last season, she's still the clear leader of the young squad and boasts plenty of fantasy upside given her ability to contribute across the board.
