The Dallas Wings have a franchise-changing opportunity sitting right in front of them. With Paige Bueckers already shaping into one of the league’s rising stars, the front office now has the chance to pair her with another elite playmaker from the upcoming draft.
And if the projections hold true, the Wings might just pull off one of the smartest guard pairings the WNBA has seen in years.
Dallas Wings Could Team Up Paige Bueckers With Olivia Miles
According to Sports Illustrated’s recent analysis, the Wings could play their hand and target Notre Dame standout Olivia Miles as a backcourt partner for Paige Bueckers.
Miles’ case is interesting as she has elite playmaking, court vision, and poise under pressure. The idea is simple but powerful.
And they could really put one of the best setup guards in college basketball next to one of the most polished scoring guards entering the WNBA.

The pairing gives Dallas two creators who can control tempo, share initiator duties, and open up the floor in ways the Wings haven’t consistently achieved in previous seasons.
However, this comes only after the Wings won the 2026 WNBA Draft lottery. And with Bueckers’ natural scoring ability and Miles’ distributing dominance, the backcourt could instantly become one of the most dynamic in the league.
Dallas Wings’ Other Options To Pair With Paige Bueckers
Dallas has more than one route available. With the No. 1 pick locked in, the franchise has a full slate of high-end prospects to consider.
Additionally, multiple forwards and guards in the 2026 class are garnering hype as potential fits alongside Bueckers.
Names like Azzi Fudd and other elite shooters have also been floated as possible additions, giving Dallas the option to build a scoring-heavy roster around their lead guard.
