Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers added to her lengthy list of awards on Monday.
In an unsurprising result given she was named the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year already, Bueckers was named to the WNBA All-Rookie team. The Wings guard averaged 19.2 points, 5.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game, leading all rookies in points and assists in the process.
Bueckers’ rookie campaign in Dallas also included three WNBA Rookie of the Month awards, the highest single-game scoring performance by a rookie in league history with her 44-point night on Aug. 20 and a start in the WNBA All-Star Game.
