Wings star Paige Bueckers won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award on Tuesday to little surprise, as the UConn Huskies product had put together a truly impressive debut season in 2025.
Bueckers, who was drafted by Dallas as the No. 1 pick back in April, was just two votes shy of being the unanimous winner following a productive campaign that saw her finish in the top-10 in points, assists and steals per game. The Wings guard managed to thrive even while her team struggled, with Dallas finishing 10-30 on the year and throwing their hat in the draft lottery for next year.
