Paige Bueckers near the unanimous recruit of the year after the first season of the WNBA | Wgb
The Dallas Wings star, Paige Bueckers, was a leakage choice for the recruit of the year of the WNBA after one of the best leading seasons in the history of the League.
Bueckers obtained 70 of the 72 votes of sports writers and broadcasters during the election announced Tuesday by the League. The other two went to the Washington Cardien Mystics Sonia Lemon.
Bueckers, the overall choice n ° 1 of this year’s draft, was a bright point in a team that equaled the Chicago sky with a 10-34 record of 10-34. The former UCONN star collected an average of 19.2 points out of 47.7% shooting with 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 interceptions. But these figures do not tell the whole story.
His 692 points and 194 assists were the third by a recruit from the WNBA. The highest point was when she scored 44 in a defeat against the sparks of Los Angeles in August. It was the highest total of the WNBA this season and the most time by a recruit. She also became the first player in the history of the League to mark 40 or more while pulling 80% in a match. This performance approached the end of a two -digit sequence of 30 games, the third longer to start a career behind the 33 games of A’ja Wilson in 2018 and the 32 games of Candace Parker in 2008.
