WNBA, Paige Bueckers and Cunningham
Digest more
Wings head coach Chris Koclanes thinks there's no question that Paige Bueckers should be the WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Rookie Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has been a high point for Dallas this season. Despite the team struggling, she has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds this season in 28 games.
Bueckers and the Wings (9-26) secured a big-time road win over the Indiana Fever last Tuesday, without All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale. However, Dallas then suffered a one-point home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday -- followed by a 106-87 defeat to the Aces in Las Vegas.
In addition to her assist record, Bueckers also reached 500 career points on Friday, becoming the 22nd rookie to accomplish that feat. No one in Wings franchise history has gotten to 500 points faster than Bueckers, who needed just 27 games to hit the milestone.
There's no wrong answer when choosing one of Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, or $410,060 star Sabrina Ionescu to take the last shot, but Sophie Cunningham boldly picked her Fever teammate.
