It's clear that Paige Bueckers is absorbing the experience of being a first-time All-Star in the WNBA. Once the break ends, she will look to continue impressing as the Wings' star.

Bueckers proved that she can perform at a high level as one of the best players in the league. Even though it's her rookie season, she has been a problem for opposing players as she can score and create plays for her teammates remarkably well.

What will matter for Bueckers is that her individual performances start translating to the Wings winning games. The team is rebuilding as they drafted Bueckers with the first pick of this year's draft. Despite that, having her take the next step will be crucial in their development.

Dallas has a 6-17 record on the season, being at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. They are 2.5 games behind the Los Angeles Sparks and 4.5 games behind the Golden State Valkyries.

Following the WNBA All-Star Break, the Wings will prepare for their next matchup, being on the road. They face the Seattle Storm on July 22 at 10 p.m. ET.
