The one reason Candace Parker can't place Paige Bueckers on All-WNBA First Team

It's WNBA award season, and Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers has already taken home the Rookie of the Year award. The debate will now come about whether Bueckers deserves to be on the All-WNBA teams. She had the numbers of First Team selection, averaging 19.2 PPG, 5.4 APG, and 3.9 RPG this season on good efficiency.

However, there is one thing that is keeping her from being a lock for the First Team: her team's performance. WNBA legend Candace Parker detailed that issue on the "Post Moves With Candace Parker" podcast.

“I definitely think just in terms of what you were able to put together this season that you would be on an All-W second team," Parker started. "I think the biggest surprise that sticks out to me, because I think that rookie team, it doesn’t matter. You know, wins or losses, or whatever. It’s just kind of like if you’re having an individual good season your rookie year, you’re going to get Rookie of the Year and you’re going to be on the All-Rookie team.

“All-W first team, and All-W second team, you don’t see usually players from a last place team,” Parker continued. “I think Paige Bueckers resume put together, yes, she’s capable of being on an All-W first team or All-W second team, 100%. But based on team performance, she’s the only one that is from below, I believe, out of the playoff team that was able to make the All-W team."
