Paige Bueckers capped off a historic rookie season with 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a win over the Mercury on Thursday night. While the Wings finished tied for the worst record in the league, Bueckers said that she knew when she looked back at her rookie season at the end of her career she'd be really appreciative.
Despite the lack of wins, Bueckers put on a show more often than not and that was true to the very last game when she took advantage of the modern interpretation of a legal move and stepped through for an easy layup after picking up her dribble around the free throw line. It was undeniably smooth and Bueckers broke out the signature celebration of one of the best to ever play the game as she ran back up the court.
