Paige Bueckers, a standout from UConn, was selected first overall by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA Draft. She is one of only six players to achieve this honor while also winning a national championship in the same year, with most being UConn alumni. Bueckers dominated in the previous season, being the only Division I player to achieve 30 points per game while maintaining impressive shooting percentages. Her entry into the Wings enhances a talented roster that includes several All-Stars, and the sports community has warmly welcomed her to Dallas.
"It's such an overwhelming sense of gratitude. I can't believe I get to play for the Dallas Wings, it's a dream come true for me."
"Being the No. 1 pick and winning a national championship in the same year is incredible. I hope to bring that winning mentality to the Wings."
