Why Paige Bueckers didn't declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft and stayed at UConn

Among the names you’ll see drafted this year at the 2024 WNBA Draft will be Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

But what about UConn superstar Paige Bueckers? She’s proven this season that she’s in the mix with those great names after a couple of injury filled seasons. Yet she didn’t declare this season. Why is that?

Bueckers didn’t hold back when asked that question back in February. Via ESPN: “”Just the family camaraderie here, just loving it here, loving my teammates, loving my coaches, me not having the four years that I planned on, not being able to play as much,” she said. “I just feel like I’m not done yet here. I feel like God is still writing my story here. I’m just blessed to be a part of this program, and I never want it to end.”
