Paige Bueckers was drafted to the WNBA by the Dallas Wings on April 14, 2025. She is an incredible player, but should be traded to a better team, because the Dallas Wings aren't that good. 

Bueckers has been highly efficient both in college and as a rookie professional. She has played 36 games starting in the first 5. She scored 19.9 points per game in college. As a professional, she averages 19.2 points per game in the WNBA, with 3.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. The Dallas Wings finished their season with 10 wins and 34 losses.

Bueckers has a promising career ahead of her. I predict she will be traded to a better team because her stats are strong.
