The Dallas Wings won the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery and now have the opportunity to select Paige Bueckers, a generational talent.
This is the obvious selection unless something odd happens. It’s so obvious that I will not even discuss another alternative as the top choice. Unless Bueckers stands in front of a camera and refuses to play for Dallas, they should draft her and enjoy having one of the best young players ever to enter the WNBA.

In addition to No. 1 overall, the Wings have four additional draft picks, including the No. 12 overall pick. They can either add another player to the backcourt with Bueckers or go for forward-center depth.
Here’s one player from each position who the Wings could try to bring to Dallas alongside the no-brainer Bueckers. And since the Wings also have the second pick of the second round, which is No. 14 overall, maybe they could end up with both of these prospects in addition to Paige.
Bueckers and Barker could get buckets
I think you always go with the best player available, and to get the best of both…
