The Dallas Wings rookie guard has been nothing short of sensational in her first professional season, hitting milestone after milestone with breathtaking efficiency and poise. On Thursday night, Bueckers etched her name into the league’s record books once again becoming the fastest guard to reach 250 career points since 2006.
She achieved the feat in just 11 games, showcasing an elite scoring touch and a mature command of the floor rarely seen from a first-year player. The last guard to get off to a start this prolific was Seimone Augustus, who dominated the league as a rookie nearly two decades ago. But even Augustus needed more time than Bueckers to cross the 250-point mark.
What makes Bueckers’ run even more impressive is the all-around game she brings every night. She’s not just scoring she’s facilitating, defending, and leading. Averaging 21.6 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game, she’s been the steady hand for a Dallas team trying to find its rhythm in a highly competitive league.
Whether it’s knocking down clutch threes, slicing through defenses with surgical precision, or locking up the opposing team’s top perimeter threat, Bueckers plays with a confidence and intensity that belies her age.
“She’s just built different,” her coach said after the milestone game. “She prepares like a veteran, and she performs like one too.”
With every game, Bueckers is making it clear that she’s not just a future star she’s a present-day problem for opposing defenses. And at the rate she’s going, 250 points is just the beginning. Paige Bueckers is here, and the league better take notice.
