Beyond whether the WNBA is ready for Paige Bueckers, Paige Bueckers is ready to enter the league and make an immediate impact, just a year after witnessing Caitlin Clark’s breakout. Someone who experienced that phenomenon up close, like Cameron Brink, has spoken about the rising superstar and how her current performance in March Madness should be evaluated.
Paige Bueckers got mad at UConn staff for snubbing her during her pregame moment
The Connecticut superstar just recorded her career-best numbers with 40 points during the Sweet 16, in a resounding 82-59 victory. And she’s getting closer and closer to the title game that Caitlin Clark couldn’t reach.
Cameron Brink on Paige Bueckers and her legacy
“Oh, I don’t think so … I think she’s definitely proven who she is. As a player, her accolades are unmatched … I just want her to end up in a good place after the season, and I’m always rooting for her. She’s a close friend of mine. Her, Azzi [Fudd] … I’ve played with them before in USA Basketball. So, I’m just rooting for them … I don’t think winning a championship should affect your legacy. I think it only adds to it, but I don’t think not winning one takes away from what you’ve done,” said Cameron Brink in an interview with For The Win.
Bueckers has already declared herself ready to enter the WNBA Draft, but first, she’ll go through the Elite Eight in pursuit of advancing further in March Madness.
