Paige Bueckers, little brother Drew share heartwarming moment at WNBA Draft
By Tyler Reed

The worst-kept secret in sports was that the Dallas Wings were going to select Paige Bueckers with the first pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
Bueckers is fresh off of a dominating run in the Women's NCAA Tournament, as her UConn Huskies brought home the program's 12th national championship.

Shortly after being selected, Bueckers shared a touching moment with her brother, as the pair rocked Wings hats in a video shared by espnW's official TikTok account.
Bueckers is having an incredible year. Not only is she a college champion and the top pick of the WNBA, but she also earned a contract with the Unrivaled basketball league.
The Unrivaled league is a three-on-three league for women, and the three-year contract signed by Bueckers will apparently be worth more than her first WNBA contract.
It's no surprise that Bueckers is such a popular commodity in the women's basketball world. The former Huskies star was on track to be a WNBA star far before the season; however, a major injury set her back a year during her college career.
Now, Bueckers is reaping the benefits of all her hard work.
