Paige Bueckers is taking her talents to the next level.

The 2025 WNBA Draft will be headlined by the UCoon star, who has been penciled in as the top pick ever since she decided to exercise her fifth year of eligibility.

Former WNBA star and current ESPN broadcaster Rebecca Lobo spoke to Bueckers this week, and she made a huge announcement.

University of Connecticut star Paige Bueckers is planning to go pro in 2025. She will reportedly declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft, squashing rumors suggesting she could wait another season before joining the league.

The 23-year-old averaged 19.2 points and 4.8 assists for the Huskies as a senior.

Beyond Bueckers, there is a deep pool of lead guards, scorers, and wings who are eager to make their impact at the next level.

Players are supposed to declare their draft status within 48 hours after their team’s season has ended.

UConn is still in the midst of the Tournament, so Bueckers just wanted to get this distraction out of the way so she could focus on her ultimate college goal.

UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers likely headed to Dallas Wings as first-round pick.

Bueckers is the top-ranked prospect in the WNBA draft, which will take place on April 14.

The Wings were awarded the No. 1 draft pick this season.

And while Bueckers is not guaranteed to go to the Wings, it seems outlandish to think they will go with somebody else.

In November, after Dallas won the WNBA Draft lottery, longtime Wings star Arike Ogunbowale posted just how happy she was on X.

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.
