What’s next for Most Improved Veronica Burton?
<p>SAN FRANCISCO- Every season, players want to be better than the year before. It’s the simple growth players have over time. But how does one improve after winning the Most Improved Player Award? How does someone follow up a season in which they broke out? That is the question surrounding Golden State Valkyries guard <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/b/burtove01w.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.theixsports.com&utm_campaign=2026-05-18_bbr">Veronica Burton</a>. For her, this season is not just about more improvement; it’s about being consistent day in and day out and being a leader of the franchise.</p> <p>“The goal is always to win a championship,” Burton told the IX Sports. “I think that was our goal last year too. It’s always to compete, to win and get better. I think just continuing to be consistent on both sides of the basketball and be intentional about what we’re doing and following our game plan, I think would be a big one. Whatever game plan we have in set in place, that’s something that we’re going to try and execute on a nightly basis.”</p>
