ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The WNBA Draft is set to take center stage tonight, and all signs point to the Dallas Wings making a franchise-defining decision with the No. 1 overall pick. At the top of their board? UConn’s standout point guard Paige Bueckers.
Fresh off leading the Huskies to a national championship, Bueckers enters the draft as the consensus top prospect. Her senior season showcased her all-around dominance—averaging 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game while shooting a blistering 53.4% from the floor and 41.9% from beyond the arc.
Her ability to score at all three levels, create for teammates, and consistently deliver in high-pressure moments makes her a rare talent. For a Wings squad searching for a cornerstone, Bueckers offers the kind of immediate impact and long-term upside that can reshape the trajectory of the franchise.
Dallas holds the keys to the draft, and if they follow expectations, Bueckers will be wearing blue and green by the end of the night.
