Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers do not even need a full season together for people to start talking. A few games, a few shared moments on the floor, and suddenly the basketball world is once again obsessed with chemistry, pairings, and labels that refuse to stay quiet online.
On the Let Her Shoot podcast, WNBA analyst Trysta Krick didn’t shy away from the comparisons or the drama that comes with them. “I love Angel and Paige together,” Krick said. “There’s a lot of chitty chat about them playing together for the Dallas Wings. I can tell you this, it does rival ‘Paizzi.’”

That comment quickly turned heads because “Paizzi,” the popular pairing nickname tied to Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, has long been treated as untouchable by fans. Krick went a step further, though, questioning what people fear most about that duo. “What are we worried about with ‘Paizzi’? A breakup. A nasty, gross breakup… trade request, drama, like what?”
The contrast matters here. Angel Reese brings a loud, fearless edge. Paige Bueckers brings control and calm. Together, their styles feel natural rather than forced, which is why the conversation has moved so fast. The buzz around Angel Reese is no longer about potential alone. It is about fit, presence, and how quickly she connects with top-level talent.
This moment isn’t just about shipping players or ranking duos. It reflects how Angel Reese has become central to almost every big-picture WNBA conversation. Whether fans agree with Krick or not, one thing is clear: Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers together has people watching, debating, and refreshing timelines like it’s playoff season already.
