Despite a 106-87 loss to the Aces, Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers solidified her historic rookie campaign by becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach over 500 points and 150 assists. Her performance further cements her status as one of the most electrifying newcomers in league history.
Bueckers' record-breaking performance
In Sunday's matchup, Bueckers scored 18 points, grabbed five rebounds, and handed out four assists, but it was her season-long stats that stole the spotlight. She achieved the rare milestone of 500+ points and 150+assists faster than any rookie before her.
This underscores her prolific passing ability and scoring consistency, despite Dallas' defensive struggles. Additionally, she has scored in double digits in every single game of her career so far, 28 straight, making the fourth-longest such streak in WNBA history.
Joining the rookie greats and shaking up franchise records
Bueckers is on pace for one of the greatest rookie seasons ever. Her continued dominance has gotten fans calling for Rookie of the Year accolades, with few challengers presenting comparable season-long production.
Meanwhile, on a franchise level, her four assists in the game tied her for seventh-most assists in a single season for the Wings. With just nine games remaining and a 5.4 assists-per-game average, she's within striking distance of tying or breaking Skylar Diggins' record.
