The one thing holding her back? Team success. Dallas has been awful this season, and their 9-31 record is the only thing standing between Paige Bueckers and a First Team appearance as a rookie. However, the Wings star has a special request for all of the people coming to cheer her on. Let\u2019s find out exactly what Bueckers has to say to her fanbase!<\/p>\n

Paige Bueckers draws comparisons to an NBA legend after a sincere request to Dallas fans.<\/p>\n
Rebuilds are always hard, and losing hurts. These are two undeniable truths that every Dallas fan knows, both in the NBA and in the WNBA. Curt Miller did his job by bringing in Paige Bueckers this year, but as the team sinks to the bottom of the league, there\u2019s nothing one player can do about it. We know the potential is there when it comes to Bueckers; she just needs the right pieces alongside her.<\/p>\n
But the criticism often becomes overbearing. Tens of thousands of fans getting their hearts broken every single day will eventually mean you don\u2019t have that many people supporting you. But the UConn star had an important request for everyone who took time to watch games and to support the Wings this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to stick with it,\u201d Bueckers said after losing to Atlanta earlier this month. \u201cWhoever puts on a Wings jersey that night, that\u2019s who we believe in. We don\u2019t need exterior belief\u2014we believe in each other. I remember Steph Curry, before the Warriors became the Warriors, tweeted, \u2018Just stick with us.\u2019 That\u2019s the message.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Before the Warriors became the Warriors\u2018 is a powerful line indeed, and it\u2019s quite applicable to what\u2019s going on in Dallas right now. Everyone is showing glimpses of brilliance, inspiring hope that it won\u2019t be long before they\u2019re real contenders. However, the process takes time, and it takes a lot of buy-in from both the players and the fans.<\/p>\n

Bueckers, apparently, has the players handled. The Dallas Wings guard is putting her all into making sure that her team doesn\u2019t collapse. It is definitely tough to keep morale high when you keep losing, but PB won\u2019t stand for it! Dallas HC Chris Koclanes pointed out how the six-foot-tall guard helps maintain composure in the locker room. \u201cIt\u2019s hard when things are tough not to crumble, but Paige and this group keep perspective. They don\u2019t feel sorry for themselves\u2014they maintain standards, hold each other accountable, and believe in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Bueckers\u2019 call for support, the ball is in the fans\u2019 court. Just remember, it took Curry a whole rebuild lasting 6 years before he ever got his hands on a ring. Will Dallas fans stick around and trust the process? Or will the need for immediate gratification win over? Only time will tell.
