low-usage Denver guard still developing into a fit piece
In the 2025-26 season, Madelyn Atkins has had limited offensive production for Denver, with 2.8 points per game and a 28.2% field-goal rate, but her value profile is more about development than box-score pop.[4] She brings guard experience, a history as an athletic, driven point guard, and a competitive mindset that coaches often like in culture-building backcourt pieces.[2][3] Right now, she looks best as a role player with upside rather than an immediate impact scorer.[1][4]
