Paige Bueckers impressed in her rookie WNBA<\/a> season, although her team couldn\u2019t achieve too much. The young superstar has a lot of expectations to meet. That means working on her game and continually getting better. And Bueckers is focused on improving this offseason.<\/p>\n

The WNBA\u2019s Rookie Of The Year is playing in the Unrivaled League during this offseason. Fans are excited to see if this short offseason period has already resulted in improvements for Bueckers. When she recently answered a question about it, though, Paige gave an interesting answer.<\/p>\n

I asked Paige Bueckers what she wants to add to her game this offseason \ud83c\udfc0\ud83e\udde0:<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to work on my left hand\u2026 get to the free throw line more, so lowkey a little foul bait, but also the Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander] shoulder bump into my midrange pull up\u201d pic.twitter.com\/77BjK4cMzN<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna work on my left hand more, and I wanna get to the free throw line more,\u201d Bueckers said. \u201cSo lowkey like, a little foul bait. But also, I wanna get the bump, the Shai (Gilgeous-Alexander) shoulder bump into my midrange pull-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seems that Bueckers has been inspired by the reigning NBA MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Canadian superstar is known for his smooth midrange and also for his ability to draw contact and get to the free-throw line. Adding these things to her arsenal will definitely make Bueckers a more productive superstar.<\/p>\n

Her play in Unrivaled will be closely scrutinized, as there is a lot of hype around Bueckers\u2019 young career already. Expectations will be through the roof in her sophomore WNBA season, so Paige has to continue improving this offseason.<\/p>\n
