After being taken first overall in this year's draft, Paige Bueckers has lived up to the expectations set for her thus far. As she continues to impress in the pros, she has caught the attention of one of the NBA's top stars, Steph Curry.
During her time at UConn, Bueckers had an NIL deal with Nike. However, competitors are already lurking around the rising WNBA star. Earlier this week, Bueckers was asked about her decision-making process when it comes to what shoes she wears each night. She revealed that her rumored girlfriend, Azzi Fudd, picks what she dons on the court.
As these remarks made the rounds on social media, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry decided to chime in. He teased the idea of the Dallas Wings guard signing with his brand in the future.
"Well….sounds like @currybrand is in your future then," Curry wrote.
Since launching his own brand within Under Armour, Curry has signed a handful of athletes. Among the most notable names is San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox.
Paige Bueckers in exclusive company with Caitlin Clark
Following a historic rookie campaign from Caitlin Clark, Paige Buckers had big shoes to fill heading into the 2025 season. While she hasn't burst on the scene in as dramatic a fashion, she's proven why she was a highly-touted prospect in her own right.
Similar to Clark, Bueckers has the all-around abilities to be the focal point of an offense. As the Dallas Wings reshape their roster, they've made their newest addition a featured piece on the floor.
This season, Paige Bueckers is averaging 18.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists. She and Clark are the only players in WNBA history to average at least 15 points and five assists through their first 15 games.
Bueckers has had multiple standout showings thus far, with her biggest being a 35-point eruption against the Phoenix Mercury. More importantly, her strong play is starting to result in victories for the Wings. Following a rocky start to the year, Dallas is slowly starting to stack up wins. They currently find themselves tied for 10th place with a 6-15 record.
