Paige Bueckers' orange carpet walk at the WNBA All-Star weekend was an interesting one, as the Dallas Wings rookie played a guessing game. Bueckers arrived on the orange carpet in style, wearing a Marni getup and pairing it with Prada shoes.
While on the carpet, the Wings rookie participated in a brief Q&A game with "WAG Talk", where she was asked to name details related to her girlfriend Azzi Fudd. The first question required Bueckers to name the high school Fudd attended.
Paige Bueckers got it right on the first try and went on to answer the remaining questions with accuracy. However, the Wings rookie fumbled in the question related to Fudd's mother. The interviewer asked Buckers to name the WNBA team that drafted Azzi Fudd's mother, Katie Fudd.
Here's the video:
The Wing rookie asked if the team that had drafted Katie was no longer in the league. She thought about the answer for a while before naming the Charlotte Sting. Soon, though, she corrected her answer to Sacramento.
Azzi Fudd's mother, Katie, was drafted by the now-defunct team Sacramento Monarchs in the 2001 draft. The interview ended with Bueckers revealing that her girlfriend's phone case reads "Paige Bueckers girlfriend".
