Diana Taurasi Predicts That Paige Bueckers And Not Catlin Clark Will Be The Future Of WNBA

Caitlin Clark's recent two-week hiatus due to a strained left quadriceps opens the door for rising stars like Paige Bueckers to take center stage. The rookie for the Dallas Wings and the league's first overall selection has received accolades from WNBA icon Diana Taurasi, who envisions her as a future luminary of the sport, eclipsing Clark’s current achievements.During a discussion on the “She Got Game” podcast, Taurasi expressed, “One day, she’s going to end up being the best player in the league for sure." Although Clark has earned MVP accolades and an All-Star nod, Taurasi highlights Bueckers' immense potential and her ability to galvanize teammates.Facing adversity on a struggling squad, Bueckers averages 13 points per game, but Taurasi remains hopeful about her trajectory. With Clark absent, all eyes are on Bueckers to excel.
