Paige Bueckers Reveals Advice From Future Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi on Rookie Season

The first overall pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Dallas Wings, Paige Bueckers, coming off a national championship with the UConn Huskies, is embarking on a new journey. She is making the transition from being a collegiate athlete to a professional one.

That is not always an easy transition, but lucky for her, she has a lot of resources coming from a list of UConn greats to enter the WNBA, including Diana Taurasi.

During a post-practice interview on Monday, April 28, Bueckers shared how much advice Taurasi has given her heading into her rookie season with the Wings.

“She talks to me all the time when I was back at school. She had been communicating with my assistant coach at UConn, which is my guard coach,” said Bueckers.

“She is always there when I need her for communication and advice … It’s been great to have her as a resource.”
