So far, Bueckers has been excellent, even making it to the All-Star Game as a rookie. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_9ssogcz0a\">She&#8217;s been breaking records left and right. She recently became the first guard since Diana Taurasi to reach 300 points, 50 rebounds, and 50 assists in the WNBA. And now she&#8217;s accomplished something that no player has managed to do before. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_zsvtnlb9m\">RELATED: <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/paige-bueckers-roasts-girlfriend-azzi-fudd-first-pitch-washington-nationals-game\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paige Bueckers roasts girlfriend Azzi Fudd after first pitch at Nationals game<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This rook is SPECIAL \ud83d\udcab<\/p>\n<p>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!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WelcometotheW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#WelcometotheW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6Xws0Q1dV5\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/6Xws0Q1dV5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WNBA (@WNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WNBA\/status\/1948968627408969765?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_2sdvnytx8\">In her recent appearance against the Golden State Valkyries, Bueckers scored 17 points while grabbing six assists. This makes her the only WNBA player to date who has amassed more than 350 points and 100 assists in their first 20 games. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_mtty38cm2\">Bueckers has won at every level of the game she has played at; her high school and college careers saw her win numerous accolades. It&#8217;s not surprising to those who have followed the Wings star for a while that she is now doing the same at the professional level. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_jmuph0d03\">The Wings have the worst record in the Western Conference, and it&#8217;s unlikely that Bueckers will be able to lead them to the postseason at the first time of asking. However, the signs all point to her having a long and successful career in the W. She&#8217;s only going to get better moving forward. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_89o1q3blp\">GET MORE TOP STORIES <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">from The Big Lead<\/a> by<a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@TheBigLead1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> subscribing to TBL YouTube <\/a>channel<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_3tc1vnfvr\">NFL:<a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/shemar-stewart-strikes-deal-bengals-three-months-2025-nfl-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Shemar Stewart strikes deal with Bengals three months after 2025 NFL Draft<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_hvcl2r8bc\">MLB: <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/after-12-years-astros-615-million-legal-battle-ends-in-one-day\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">After 12 years without trial, Astros&#8217; $615 million legal battle ends in one day<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_5ruja08kz\">NBA: <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/san-antonio-spurs-launch-1-billion-plan-develop-new-nba-arena\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Antonio Spurs launch $1 billion plan to develop new NBA arena<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_uuchqi1m5\">SPORTS MEDIA:<a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/happy-gilmore-2-streaming-netflix-fans-reliving-original-film\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8216;Happy Gilmore 2&#8217;, now streaming on Netflix, has fans reliving original film<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_ozaysipyw\">WNBA: <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/wnba-superstar-caitlin-clark-sets-record-most-expensive-women-sports-card\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark sets record with most expensive women&#8217;s sports card<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_36iranhlv\">VIRAL: <a class=\"tagStyle_1cm7w3s-o_O-style_16tsvnu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/wnba-superstar-aja-wilson-aka-sorority-nike-aone-pe-sneaker-las-vegas-aces\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA superstar A&#8217;ja Wilson debuts &#8216;AKA&#8217; sorority-inspired Nike A&#8217;One PE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There was incredible excitement in Dallas when the Wings drafted Paige Bueckers with the No. 1 overall pick&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38895,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-38894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
