Dallas Wings rookie guard Paige Bueckers became one of the best players in the WNBA. Wednesday night, she delivered a majestic performance against the Los Angeles Sparks that gained the attention of several NBA stars.
Bueckers shot a perfect 4-of-4 from three-point range to record a career high of 44 points on 17 of 21 shooting. Despite the Wings struggling with a 9-27 record, Bueckers, who was picked No. 1 overall as Dallas won first picks in WNBA and NBA, remains a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.
Bueckers averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. She also posted in double figures in 29 straight games, the third-longest streak by a rookie in league history.
Though Wings lost 81-80 in a close game, Bueckers’ significant knock stole the show. NBA stars, including Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., and Chet Holmgren, showed appreciation for her big night. Moreover, Holmgren, the strong aspect of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s title run, and Bueckers share a Minnesota connection.
Fans and players praise Bueckers’ determination and aggressive basketball strategies. The Wings are already out of playoff contention, but the Dallas rookie is expected to keep playing at a high level in their remaining eight games.

Bueckers is showing how powerful the mid-range jumper can be in today’s game. In her 44-point performance against the Sparks, she made eight shots from mid-range, which highlights her ability.
“I truly think basketball has gotten away from it — it’s mostly layups and threes,” she said. “Teams don’t know how to guard it. So I think it’s an advantage when you can score in the mid-range.”
She believes most teams don’t defend that area anymore. The modern game relies heavily on layups and three-pointers. Bueckers sees this as a chance to stand out. She says scoring from mid-range gives her an edge. Even stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant agree
