The future of the Dallas Wings just touched down—and they’re already embracing the Texas spirit. Fresh off one of the most anticipated WNBA drafts in recent history, the Wings’ rookie class, headlined by No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers, has officially arrived in Dallas.
Bueckers, alongside fellow draftees Aziaha James (No. 12), Madison Scott (No. 14), JJ Quinerly (No. 26) and Aaronette Vonleh (No. 30), was introduced at the team’s “Meet the Rookies” press conference—complete with cowboy hats, fitting for their new home.
“There’s a lot of new in this organization,” said Bueckers. “So to be part of something and build with each other and just create a new sisterhood—really excited.”
