Paige Bueckers will be among the highest-paid rookies from this year's draft class as the No. 1 pick by the Dallas Wings.
But her WNBA salary will pale in comparison to the money she'll make playing in Unrivaled, a second-year startup league that Bueckers reportedly signed with last week.
Per Spotrac, Bueckers will make $247,688 on a three-year contract with the Wings that includes a fourth-year team option valued at $100,510. Here's the breakdown:
2025: $78,831
2026: $80,408
2027: $88,449
2028: $100,510 (team option)
Assuming that the Wings pick up that fourth-year option, Bueckers' average salary in her first four years in the WNBA works out to $92,469.
