UConn’s Paige Bueckers confirms entry into WNBA draft

paige bueckers

UConn star Paige Bueckers confirmed Friday she will enter the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Some had speculated she might delay entering the draft until next year, believing she didn’t want to play for the Dallas Wings, who hold the No. 1 pick. She is projected to be taken first.

However, Bueckers, 23, told ESPN that she will put her name in the draft. She has one year of college eligibility remaining.

She has unfinished business with UConn first, however.

The Huskies (33-3) are the No. 2 seed in the Spokane 4 Region of the Women’s NCAA Tournament. The Huskies will face No. 3-seed Oklahoma in Sweet 16 action on Saturday.

On the season, the 6-foot guard leads the Huskies in scoring (19.2 points per game) and assists (4.8), adding 4.4 rebounds per game. She is shooting 41.1 percent from 3-point range and 90.2 percent from the free-throw line.
