Paige Bueckers is less than an hour away from hearing her name called at the WNBA Draft.
And while there are still a lot of questions regarding which elite college players will be drafted when and by whom, the Dallas Wings’ No. 1 overall selection is all but certain.
The UConn Huskies superstar guard has long been tabbed as the pick for the No. 1 overall spot as Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was one season ago.
Many believe Bueckers to be a generational talent on the court, which she further proved by UConn winning the 2025 NCAA national championship.
Paige Bueckers was among many women who showed off their outfits before the draft started in New York.
How social media responded:
“Suit game elite. Confidence even louder,” one fan said.
“She looks amazing 🤩,” a second fan stated about Paige Bueckers.
“She really looks so good. The hair all of it,” a third fan commented.
“The sparkly suit is everything,” one final fan stated.
Bueckers averaged 19.9 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.4 rebounds while shooting 53.4% from the field, including 41.9% from 3-point range.
Paige Bueckers Ended Rumors About Where She Wanted To Be Drafted

Paige Bueckers can start envisioning WNBA hoops in Texas as soon as tonight.
That future is almost a certainty after the ping pong balls worked in the Dallas Wings’ favor in the 2024 WNBA draft lottery.
After Dallas won the pick, there were many rumors that the UConn superstar might pull an Eli Manning and force the No. 1 pick holders to trade her somewhere else.
Despite that, Bueckers would refute reports that she doesn’t want to play for the Dallas Wings.
“The reports are the reports,” Bueckers told Front Office Sports.
“People write stories, and it’s whatever. Honestly, I’m not really worried about that at the moment. I’m just worried about being here, being present with the team, and trying to get better every single day. So whatever the future may hold, it’s only in God’s hands.”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
