After tonight\u2019s game, Paige Bueckers becomes the first player in WNBA History to total 350+ PTS and 100+ AST in the first 20 games of their career!#WelcometotheW<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6Xws0Q1dV5<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 WNBA (@WNBA) July 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n When you think about all the great guards that have hit the ground running upon entering the WNBA, it’s amazing that Bueckers is the first to this achievement.<\/p>\n The UConn legend put up 17 points and six assists against the Valkyries on Friday to reach this history.<\/p>\n On the season, Bueckers is putting up 18.1 points, 5.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 0.7 blocks per game.<\/p>\n She struggled with her efficiency early in the season but has slowly picked that up as the campaign has gone on. That should only keep getting better.<\/p>\n And Bueckers is already standing on ground no WNBA rookie has ever stood on, so that’s a pretty good place to start.<\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0Sophie Cunningham could hardly miss in upset win over Aces<\/a><\/p>\n
