Paige Bueckers turned so many heads in her first year in the WNBA with the Dallas Wings; During her rookie campaign, she already averaged 19.2 points per game with shooting times of 47/33/89. It was a headache when Bueckers was unable to win the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year award unanimously. But with the WNBA on hiatus, Bueckers appears in Unrivaleda 3-on-3 women’s basketball league.

Even against incredible opposition, the Wings star is still able to separate himself from the rest of the pack. She finished with 24 points on the night on 7-15 shooting from the field in a Breeze victory over the Phantom, a team like Kelsey Plum, Aliyah Boston and Tiffany Hayes leading the way.
Bueckers is an incredible shooter, and in the first half of this contest, she broke through a three-pointer avoided at the buzzer to give his team a five-point halftime lead.
At just 24 years old, Bueckers has the entire basketball world at his fingertips. She’s also a serial winner, so no one should be surprised that she plays winning basketball everywhere she goes.

Bueckers looked like a lady among girls in her first year in the WNBA, and now that she’s already fully acclimated to the physicality of the professional league, a huge Year 2 appears to be in store for her.
The Wings have a golden chance to add talent to the roster anyway; they won the first overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, and many have them selecting 6’7″ Lauren Betts to give Bueckers his dance partner on the pick-and-roll.
