UConn G Paige Bueckers, the presumptive top pick in next month’s WNBA draft, has confirmed that she “does indeed plan to enter” the league for the 2025 season. There had been “rumors that Bueckers did not want to play for the Dallas Wings, who have the No. 1 overall pick.” Bueckers does have one year of college eligibility left and there was talk she “could return to school or even play for the Unrivaled League for a year.” Bueckers previously has indicated that this “would be her final season at UConn and she would be going pro” (ESPN.com, 3/28).
