Paige Bueckers (born 2001) is an American college basketball player for the UConn Huskies of the Big East Conference in the NCAA Division I. A 5-foot-11-inch point guard, she became the first freshman to win a major national college player of the year award, and led UConn to the Final Four of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, in her first season with the Huskies. Bueckers played varsity basketball for Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota from eighth grade and helped the team win the state championship as a junior. She was considered the number one high school player in her class by ESPN, earned national high school player of the year honors in her senior season and graduated from Hopkins as one of Minnesota's most distinguished high school players. A three-time gold medalist for the United States in youth basketball, Bueckers was named Most Valuable Player of the 2019 FIBA Under-19 World Cup, as well as USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year in the same year.
