Paige Bueckers is seemingly in no rush to declare for the WNBA draft

Paige Bueckers is considered to be potentially one of the top picks in the WNBA draft should she choose to declare, but the hoops star recently insinuated that she might have unfinished business at UConn.

Paige Bueckers is a star who has become a driving force at UConn under head coach Geno Auriemma. However, during her college basketball career her team has faced some truly unfortunate headwinds with injuries.

This year has been no different. The team has endured injuries to Azzi Fudd, Aubrey Griffin, Jana El Alfy, Ayanna Patterson and Caroline Ducharme. Several of those have been season-ending.

On Tuesday, when asked about whether or not she had talked to Auriemma about playing another year, Bueckers made light of all the injuries, saying that her coach likely wants her to stay now.

However, what she said next when asked about potentially going to the WNBA may reveal where her heart truly lies.
