Paige Bueckers is sure she will adjust to being double-teamed after the number one pick in the WNBA draft suffered a second straight loss with the Dallas Wings on Monday.

Bueckers was selected first overall by Dallas in April's draft, after they finished 9-31 last season.

She became the sixth player – and the first since Breanna Stewart in 2016 – to be selected first in the same year as winning a national championship, after she led UConn to their first NCAA title in almost a decade.

But Bueckers is yet to taste victory two home games into her WNBA career.

After losing their opener versus the Minnesota Lynx, Dallas were beaten 79-71 by the Seattle Storm on Monday, with Nneka Ogwumike amassing 23 points and 18 rebounds.

Bueckers had a team-high 19 points for the Wings but regularly attracted two Seattle defenders – a challenge she will have to learn to overcome.

"It's probably smart to blitz and get the ball out of my hands, I'm just trying to adjust offensively on how to counteract those traps," she told reporters after the game.

"Maybe sometimes I need to get other people open in transition. It's just a different look that defenses are throwing at me, which is an adjustment.

"I'll just have to continue to learn and work through that."

Bueckers will hope it is third time lucky when Dallas are reunited with Minnesota on Wednesday, in their first road game of 2025.
