“This whole team is full of dogs and I’m ready to be a part of it,” 12th draft pick Aziaha James of North Carolina State said.
"I just can't stop smiling, just excited for a new chapter,” number 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers said.
She's glad to see the excitement and buzz around her and the W온라인카지노사이트 as a whole.
“Just to be a part of that, be a part of that momentum, be a part of that shift, and just continue to try to build off that, and keep building off the momentum," Bueckers said. "Return on investment in women's sports right now is at all-time high, and we're trying to continue to build that, keep pushing the ceiling. So just to be a part of that, it means everything.”
As a role model Bueckers wants young girls to know one thing.
“Dream big, amazing things can happen if you put the work in,” Bueckers said.
Now she's putting in the work with the Wings and becoming a part of the city.
“Really embracing it," Bueckers said. "Talked about the cowboy hats, cowboy boots, country music. I'm excited for the food in the city, and then just obviously excited to be a part of this organization."
