Wings news: Paige Bueckers shares eye-opening reflection on big turnaround

The Dallas Wings have made an incredible turn around in the WNBA, moving from a 10-34 record last season to a 27-17 finish this year, securing their place in the playoffs. Paige Bueckers, the team's star player, reflected on their progress with a mix of astonishment and appreciation. "That’s I mean, yeah, funny to think about," Bueckers said.

"I haven’t even thought about all that we accomplished and all that we did throughout the regular season, because I mean, that’s life. You’re so future forward focused. It’s always the next thing." Despite the turnaround, Bueckers admitted it can be difficult to fully appreciate the progress when the focus is always on the next game.

"But to be able to do what we did as a team this year as an organization, the turnaround was insane," Bueckers continued. The 24-year-old also shared that staying consistent during a losing season was a challenge, but she remained positive and enjoyed being part of the team. The Wings have improved by 17 wins this season, but Bueckers emphasized that the goal isn't yet accomplished.

Now, Dallas has the opportunity to build on their strong regular season performance and make a significant impact in the playoffs.
