The LA Sparks blew their shot at Paige Bueckers—drafting her would’ve been a dream scenario, but the lottery handed them the second pick. Instead of taking her, they traded down for Kelsey Plum, sparking a roster overhaul. Meanwhile, Bueckers is dominating, dropping 44 points against the very team that passed on her. The Sparks, now 4-6 and playoff-bound last year, are struggling to find their footing. What could’ve been a generational move now haunts them as Bueckers looks like Rookie of the Year and an All-WNBA player—leaving the Sparks with a bitter “what if” that’ll linger for years.
