The WNBA draft brought us a new superstar in Paige Bueckers, and she’s ready to take over Dallas. Bueckers, a recent NCAA champion with the UConn Huskies, will have a quick turnaround as she joins the Dallas Wings and their star Arike Ogunobowale.
With Bueckers in tow, the Wings are sure to be social media favorites and extremely popular all season. Bueckers has several deals in place that will uplift her profile, including her NIL deals and an agreement with the Unrivaled League, which will help earn more than her WNBA contract.
With all the positives in Bueckers’ young career, it seems the foundation has been laid for her to become a superstar. Will she have the same impact as Caitlin Clark in her rookie year? That remains to be seen.
Paige Bueckers Goes Viral In Wings Uniform
Upon her arrival in Dallas, Bueckers made it known that she’s excited to work with new teammate Ogunobowale and pass to her as often as possible. This duo seems to be the future of the team, and the sky is the limit for these two.
Bueckers took part in her first official photo shoot as a Wings player, and she would go viral for donning a cowboy hat along with her uniform. The look embodies the spirit of Dallas and showcases that Bueckers should be able to fit in well with her team and the city overall.

The WNBA season is fast approaching, and while Bueckers is going viral for her uniform and cowboy hats, soon she will be going viral for her play on the court at the College Park Center. The season kicks off for the Wings with a May 2nd preseason game against the Las Vegas Aces.
How Far Can The Wings Go?
The Wings have some talent on their team, but they also face some tough competition overall in the league. Two of their first three games are against the Minnesota Lynx, which could be tough battles to win.
The Lynx and the Stars have quite a few games this season, and this could be the rivalry to watch for with Bueckers now a part of the team. We will see how much of a difference Bueckers’ presence makes when these two teams clash.
Another big matchup to watch will be the June 17th game between the Wings and new expansion team Golden State Valkyries. That game will test both squads in multiple ways. The Valkyries should have a team identity by then, which will make their first game against each other interesting.
Can Bueckers and the Wings find a way to succeed this season? Will they be able to reach the playoffs in her rookie season? Will Bueckers win Rookie Of The Year? Time will tell.
