Paige Bueckers

Paige Bueckers is a guard for the Dallas Wings who made an immediate impact in her debut WNBA season, earning Rookie of the Year honors and a starting spot in the 2025 All-Star Game. She entered the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2025, just a week after leading UConn to a national championship in her final season. Before turning pro, Bueckers built a legendary career at UConn, becoming the first and only freshman women’s basketball player to sweep the AP National Player of the Year, Naismith College Player of the Year, USBWA Women’s National Player of the Year and the John R. Wooden Award. Drawing comparisons to some of the greatest players in the game, she is a leader of a new, influential generation of athletes whose performance, style and loyal audience have helped to vault women’s basketball to the forefront of public consciousness. Known for her clutch performances, leadership, activism, resilience, charisma and passion for the game, Paige has attracted fans with her versatility and range on and off the court. Beyond basketball, through the Paige Bueckers Foundation, she is working to create opportunity for children and families and promote social justice.
