Paige Bueckers is a two-way superstar with elite efficiency and zero panic in her game
Bueckers enters the 2026 conversation as one of the most polished guards in the sport: in the 2024-25 season at UConn, she led the Huskies with 19.9 points and 176 assists while shooting an absurd .534/.419/.889, and she was a difference-maker in the NCAA Tournament too. Her calling card is control—she scores at all three levels, creates for others, defends with anticipation, and gives off that rare “big moment? fine” energy. The main caveat is durability, because her college arc was shaped by major knee injuries, but when healthy she looks like a franchise-level fit for any team needing a poised, high-IQ engine.
