In my 15 years of watching girls high school basketball somewhat seriously, Pistol Paige Bueckers is the best guard I've seen. With pizzazz and razzmatazz, she can dominate (scoring), facilitate (teammates), prestidigitate (the ball) and vaticinate (the entire court).

In the pantheon of great players that have gone to UCONN and been superstars, I think Paige Bueckers will be the most hated player by opposing fans. She's just that player, with that swag, and that game. Yes-Diana was hated, but this is a totally different era with social media.

She has game changer written all over her.

I wonder what number she will wear?

The Pistol wears #1 in high school.

She scored 29 points in the game linked by Linkster, which Hopkins easily won. In that game, she was aggressive and finished in traffic on many drives, was able to self-create (with some good picks) several short pull-up jumpers, but seemed to be somewhat off on her long shot. Her coach kept her on the court the entire game, with just a two minute blow in the first half, even when up by 25 points at the end.

I remember struggling to get people to recognize Bueckers as a top prospect. Now she’s getting all this hype.

Just realized and confirmed that UConn has never had a #1 jersey. Maybe that was the point of ucbart's question.

A heads-up for Cam and RAF: I find the trash talk/stare down crap to be asshole-ish. If Bueckers continues that bs in a CT uni, I'll call it out. Wink

Yes-Geno doesn't allow it and she even talked about(somewhere-I know I heard it) that she asked him for it and he said no.

Fudd also wears No 1 for her HS team.

USA Basketball names Bueckers their female athlete of the year. The last high school player to win it was Stewart.

Geno has the pieces coming in and already there to reach his goal of "making UConn bad for basketball". Rolling Eyes

yep, I can see why she will be considered an asshole by opponents. Being good is one thing, being an ass is another. You really don't have to be an ass to be good - see Stewie and Maya for example. I always wonder the effect on teammates. I'm guessing there are some who would be put off by it. Look at the exodus from Texas A&M for example. Somewhere along the line, someone enabled her and taught her it was fine to be a bad sport. Too bad.

So when was she an ass? I watched that whole thing, and she plays with a little panache, but she never showed anyone up on the other team. Sure, she celebrated when her teammate made a layup after another teammate dove on the floor for a loose ball ... but this was a playoff game, pretty clearly, and I think it was against Wayzata, their big rival.

I don't see a problem with a very good player having fun playing the game ...

AS USUAL, myrtle has to bring anti-UConn agenda to a thread. I'm starting to think myrtle is Sue Favors because they bring the same B.S. everyday Rolling Eyes The same myrtle that said Marina Mabrey's foul behavior was "fine". Smh!!

yeah, I'm totally anti UConn. That's why I brought up Maya and Stewie as examples of great players with great attitudes who don't need to show up opponents. That's why I think Geno is probably the greatest women's college coach of all time. Go ahead and SYH. Maybe it will help you to see beyond the end of your nose.

I hope you're right.

The bucket at :29, and her subsequent yapping at #9. Not heinous by any stretch, but not my cup of tea.

Think you overstate it. Any comparison to a primadonna is total bullshit. Bueckers is the consummate team player. She likely will never be the leading scorer for UConn over a season but may set the all-time assist mark.
She is never intimidated and is the type who responds to taunts with her game.
Taurasi has shown ass-like behavior as a pro but at UConn her antics were limited to post-game comments or gestures, like when she motioned to the blue devil crowd to "call me" after enduring their taunts and whipping their team, or her comment about the Tenn crowd booing every time she touched the ball with "I thought they were mooing".
I'm sure there will be those who will not like her strutting but you needn't worry because if your past behavior is any indication you won't ever watch more than 4 or 5 minutes of her UConn's games. Very Happy

I've watched many complete games and the only time I've seen her stare down an opponent was after they gave her shit more than once. There have been games when the entire student section of the opponent has taunted her. It never lasts long however.

UConn has needed a player with some on-court personality for a while. I can't wait to see her at Notre Dame and at Tenn next year. It's really too bad UConn doesn't play Duke anymore.

There was no yapping. She’s also very intense on defense. She finds the player she’s responsible for guarding and reels them in. You can find something similar @2:29 in the “Bueckers silences feisty crowd” video.

I think people are getting overly influenced by the click bait nature of the titles of these videos.
