Paige Bueckers

Bueckers recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 94-76 loss to the Valkyries.

After ending with a season-low six points in the 83-63 win over the Sun on Sunday, Bueckers finished with 17 points for the second consecutive game. While she was more involved in other statistical areas and didn't commit a turnover in Wednesday's 96-92 loss to Washington, she was slightly more efficient shooting the ball Friday. Bueckers had a quality rookie year but has played even better in her second campaign, averaging 20.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists, all career highs, across 33.4 minutes in 30 regular-season appearances. The 24-year-old has also shot 39.4 percent from deep, a significant improvement from last season.
