Paige Bueckers Sends Strong Message on Caitlin Clark Before Fever Game

Paige Bueckers entered the WNBA with high expectations after an incredible career with the UConn Huskies at the collegiate level. 

Bueckers has certainly felt pressure in her first season with the Dallas Wings just like last year's No. 1 overall pick, Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever. 

Clark was one of the most highly anticipated rookies in WNBA history and wound up living up to the potential, winning Rookie of the Year and being named a WNBA All-Star in her first year in the league. 

It's Bueckers' time to put on a show for fans. 

The Wings guard recently spoke on the pressure of being a young athlete in the social media world, where immediate success is expected. 

Bueckers mentioned that Clark has dealt with pressure with grace. 

"I would just say, she handles it with grace and the pressure that she’s put on every single night to perform at the level that she does, it’s inhumane really, to expect people to be perfect and to not have off games or off nights,” Bueckers said. "It’s unfair to have to deal with that but I’m sure she has a great team around her and great people to help her. I know she’s a great person at dealing with it."
