The Washington Mystics’ rookies have stood out in the early days — while Paige Bueckers has shown flashes of brilliance in her first games in the WNBA.

Just over a year ago, Caitlin Clark was preparing to embark on her rookie season in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever, less than one month after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft.

In Thursday's episode, Rapinoe referred to Bueckers as "The Rizz Daddy Paige," teasing that, given Dallas’s sweltering temperatures, "you know we’re going to be seeing some jorts because she’s in Dallas and it’s hot."

UConn women's basketball player Azzi Fudd was seen at her former teammate Paige Bueckers' WNBA game in her home state of Minnesota.

Paige Bueckers played her third WNBA game on Wednesday night, posting 12 points and 10 assists in a four-point loss to the Minnesota Lynx. As belied by the statline the former UConn superstar isn't having too much trouble acclimating to the professional game—which includes making her thoughts about officiating very clear.

Bueckers was a big star at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minn., and she then moved on to UConn, where she truly started to make her name. With the Huskies, she averaged 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists a game while shooting 53.1% from the field and 42.3% from 3-point range.

Nearby mics picked up Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers hysterically ratting out a Minnesota Lynx player to a ref, and we can't stop laughing.

Former UConn Huskies and newly-crowned collegiate national champions shared a warm moment before their WNBA clash.
