UConn star Paige Bueckers will enter the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Bueckers, 23, was thought to have possibly foregone the 2025 draft, play in Unrivaled, and then declare for the draft in 2026. But Bueckers put those notions to bed and will enter the draft following the Huskies tournament run, she told ESPN. 

Bueckers is expected to be one of the top picks, if not the No. 1 pick, in the draft. The Dallas Wings hold the No. 1 selection.

The star point guard has been excellent throughout her college career. 

As a freshman, Bueckers won the Naismith Award for best women’s college basketball player after averaging 20 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 assists per game. She also led the nation in 3-point percentage, making 46.4% of her 3-point attempts. 

That season, she helped power the Huskies to the Final Four. 

In her sophomore season, Bueckers was limited to just 17 games after she suffered a tibial plateau fracture and lateral meniscus tear. She ended up coming back at the end of the year, helping the Huskies make it to the national championship game, where they lost to South Carolina.
