Paige Bueckers has been historic amid Dallas Wings struggle

When Paige Buekcers joined the Dallas Wings in this year's draft, there were expectations that it would eventually change their fate after a poor 2024 season. However, not much changed for Dallas as they currently hold the 12th seed in the WNBA with a poor 3-12 record.

Nonetheless, Bueckers's story has been different. It seems like the former UConn star came WNBA ready, but offensively, she has not shown much struggle.

Although the Wings lost their last game to the Washington Mystics 91-88, Bueckers had a historic outing for herself. With a 20-point game, she became the fastest player to record 200 points and 50 assists — 11 games. The last person holding that record was Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark with 12 games.

Paige Bueckers has been simply great in her rookie year. In 11 games in her rookie year, she has averaged 18.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. She is also shooting at 46.3% from the field and 32.4% from beyond the arc.
