Diana Taurasi is widely regarded as one of the greatest players to ever wear a WNBA uniform. Now 42 years old, the Chino, California native was the top pick in the 2004 WNBA Draft. She joined the Phoenix Mercury that year and spent her entire 20-year career with the franchise before retiring.

It is no secret the former UConn Huskies guard Paige Bueckers is special. In early April she led the Huskies to a 37-3 (18-0 Big East) record and the AP No. 1 overall rank before cementing her legacy with the Huskies NCAA record 12th National Championship. Less than 2 weeks later, she was drafted No. 1 overall in the WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings.

Paige Bueckers is still one of the top candidates to win WNBA Rookie of the Year. Former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd highlighted what she thinks are some of Bueckers' overlooked skills while in attendance for the Wings' game against the Atlanta Dream on Saturday.

On Wednesday, WNBA reporter Roberta F. Rodrigues posted on X that Madison Scott, the Ole Miss standout and Dallas Wings’ second-round pick (No. 14 overall) in the 2025 draft, has signed with the 3x3 Basketball Association (3XBA), a FIBA-commissioned pro 3×3 league in the United States.

Similar to her return to Minnesota, Bueckers did not let this opportunity go to waste. She put together the best showing of her WNBA career thus far, erupting for 21 points, five rebounds and seven assists on stellar 8-of-10 shooting from the field. This showing was a driving force in the Wings picking up their first win of the 2025 season.
