Paige Bueckers has emerged as one of the biggest stars of the WNBA this year. Playing for the Dallas Wings, Bueckers’ incredible play made her clinch the Rookie of the Year award.
Unfortunately, despite going almost toe-to-toe with Caitlin Clark’s rookie season record, her team, the Dallas Wings, performed miserably and finished last. And as the Wings look to revamp their roster, fans expect Bueckers to have a pleasant experience with another of her teammates.
The former UConn Huskies star is having a great time at the moment. Only recently, Bueckers was honored as a Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year Standout. Now, as she enters Unrivaled, the Rookie of the Year looks extremely excited.

And as the expansion team has also announced its squad for the season, the lineup is looking stunning. Apart from Bueckers, the likes of Rickea Jackson, Kate Martin, Cameron Brink, Dominique Malonga, and Aari McDonald will also feature alongside the Wings’ star.
Such a star-studded team not only made the fans happy, but it also made Bueckers herself exclaim with joy.

Surely, with so many big names teaming up, the expansion team has instantly made ripples in the hoops realm. They are already looking like a side to beat, and if they do go on to clinch the title, the franchise would become a part of history. Meanwhile, with a lot of expectations from Bueckers in the upcoming WNBA season, Geno Auriemma cites Jose Fernandez as a perfect fit.
Geno Auriemma Thinks Jose Fernandez Is The Best Fit To Unlock Paige Bueckers’ Potential
While playing for the Huskies, it was Auriemma who groomed and transformed Bueckers into such a superstar. Thus, after the initial season, the UConn Huskies’ coach felt sad about how the Wings faltered. Now, with Jose Fernandez appointed as their new coach, Auriemma thinks that he can work wonders with Bueckers.
“I think Jose Fernandez is a great hire by the Dallas Wings. I’ve always had the utmost respect for Jose as a teacher and an innovator. He’s a guy who thinks outside the box, whether that’s recruiting internationally or playing a style of basketball that’s unique. As a person, I think he’s terrific at communicating with his players. He’s a relationship guy. I think he’ll bring tremendous energy, stability, and innovation to that organization,” said Auriemma.
