84% Informative
UConn star Bueckers was drafted by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA draft.
She'll make her WNBA debut at home on May 16 against the Minnesota Lynx .
Six general managers across the league say Buecker can impact the league immediately.
Buekerers' versatility should give her positional versatility in the pros.
Coach Chris Koclanes : "She can fill the gap, and she can fill whatever gap".
Bueckers will have more time than ever to dedicate toward taking care of her body, GMs say.
"My only concern with Paige is physical," a different GM said.
Buecker is "good but not excellent" on that end of the floor thanks to her size and effort.
The question is how quickly she can adjust amid a 44 -game schedule.
Bueckers has an aura about her that could really help a franchise on and off the court.
