During the first day of Team USA camp on Friday, players participated in scrimmages during which Paige Bueckers hit Caitlin Clark with a side-step move into a 3-pointer. The highlight was probably a sign of things to come for the 2026 WNBA season when Bueckers enters her second year in the league.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, Bueckers won the league's Rookie of the Year Award and was selected to the All-Star team, a honor that was also bestowed upon Clark during her rookie season. Bueckers was also named to the All-WNBA Second Team.
She appeared in a total of 36 games at a little over 33 minutes per game. She averaged 19.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals with splits of 47.7 percent shooting from the field, 33.1 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 88.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.
