UConn star Paige Bueckers was selected as the No. 1 overall pick by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA Draft on April 14, 2025. Her standout performance during a week that saw the Huskies capture their 12th national championship—capped by a decisive win over South Carolina—cemented her status as one of the program’s finest, drawing comparisons to legends like Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart.
Overcoming a season marked by injury challenges, Bueckers averaged nearly 20 points per game while contributing significantly on both ends of the floor. Her selection signals a fresh start for a Dallas Wings franchise looking to turn around a difficult previous season, and fans are already excited for the immediate impact she is expected to have on the court.
