Paige Bueckers Addresses Potentially Being Picked First by Dallas Wings in WNBA Draft

And another Huskies player who seems destined for greatness is Paige Bueckers, who has had her own chaos to deal with over the past few days. Of course, this is regarding the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery, which the Dallas Wings won and are now expected to select Bueckers with the No. 1 pick.

Bueckers played it coy when asked about the Draft Lottery result on Tuesday. But one day later, she got honest about the Wings winning that No. 1 pick.

"People think I'm lying. I actually didn't watch it, it was giving me too much anxiety," Bueckers said of Sunday's lottery, per X user @JN21666. "So I just decided to... whatever was going to happen, regardless of whether I was watching or not, so I just kind of let the things happen and figure out after.

When the media member asked Bueckers about Dallas winning the draft and likely using that pick to select her, she said, "I honestly don't want to get complacent. I want to stay humble, stay grounded, stay in the moment. Nothing in the future is guaranteed, so just taking every moment as it is.

"I'm a firm believer in God has a plan for me, so whatever that is, I'm ready to do it," she concluded.
