The 2024 WNBA season wasn’t very kind to the Dallas Wings. They finished the year with a 9-31 record, just one victory more than the league-worst Los Angeles Sparks.
Due to their lack of success, Dallas went through a complete rebuild during the offseason. They cleaned out their management, brought in a new general manager in Curt Miller and hired Chris Koclanes as their new head coach.
Then, one of the most significant moments in recent WNBA history happened when the Wings won the 2025 draft lottery, guaranteeing them the opportunity to draft generational talent Paige Bueckers. Miller, understandably, was ecstatic at that opportunity when he heard the news.
The Wings didn’t complicate things and drafted Bueckers No. 1 overall. Now, her era in Dallas will begin.
Enter Paige Bueckers
With training camp underway, Bueckers is quickly assimilating to Texas life. She was rocking the cowboy hat during her introduction to the franchise, and the only thing brighter than her future in the WNBA is the infectious energy she brings to the team.
Bueckers isn’t just sizzle, she’s the steak. She averaged 19.9 points, 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in her final year at UConn, helping them win the national title.
It’s that level of play and limitless potential that has Miller…
