“Paige picking up right where she left off. You could tell early she was comfortable, letting the game come to her, then just taking over when they needed a bucket. Twenty four in a debut and it never felt forced. What stands out is how easy it looks for her. Scoring, movement, awareness, all still there after everything she has been through. This league suits her game perfectly. If this is the baseline, the Breeze are going to be a problem all season.” one more fan explained.
“She’s absolutely insane,” another fan added.
Paige Bueckers is clearly out there to get her team to the trophy in her debut season. While this spells well for the Breeze BC, the team has also been criticized for letting all the major share of responsibility fall on Bueckers’ shoulders and not utilizing the other players properly.
