The Dallas Wings made their long-awaited No. 1 pick official Monday night when they selected UConn Huskies star guard Paige Bueckers. All the way back in November, Wings executive vice president and general manager Curt Miller was stoked when he found out his team would select first in the 2025 draft as Bueckers sat at the top of every draft board.
Bueckers's WNBA landing spot was a poorly kept secret ever since the draft order became official, which the Wings acknowledged on social media when they alluded to the pick hours before the draft started. After the pick became official, Miller called Bueckers on FaceTime as he stood beside new Wings coach Chris Koclanes.
