The 2025 WNBA Draft night is finally here, and Paige Bueckers has officially been chosen by the Dallas Wings with the top overall pick. Although nearly every women's basketball fan expected Bueckers to suit up for Dallas, fans are still overjoyed to see their dream become a reality.

“Paige Bueckers to the Wings at No. 1?!” one fan said on X, formerly Twitter. “Dallas just secured a franchise changer! The Paige Era starts NOW!”

Another Wings fan from Texas could barely contain their excitement. “PAIGE BUECKERS IS COMING TO TEXAS YALL YEEHAW IM SO HAPPY,” they posted on their profile.

Dallas is already advertising the new Bueckers Wings jerseys, which will likely start flying off shelves soon, and one person is preparing to get theirs before they're gone. “Me going to buy my Dallas Wings Paige Bueckers jersey within minutes of her getting drafted,” they said.

One UConn supporter also chimed in with her feelings about Bueckers no longer playing in the NCAA. “I miss Paige already. I would like a take backsies please,” they posted before tagging the Wings' official page.

Can't wait to get you here, support you, come to some games, and watch you do your thing. Congrats again, enjoy the night.”
