This week, Bird’s Eye View welcomes Paige Bueckers to the pod. Paige opens up about what it’s been like living with the expectations, pressures, and injuries that have followed her since high school. She and Sue dissect how the contributions of Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard, Azzi Fudd and Paige herself have made the Dallas Wings a winning team. Plus, Paige dishes on what to expect from the new UConn documentary coming out later this summer. In Sue’s View, Sue assesses the league standings headed into All-Star Weekend, predicts who will win the Three-Point Contest, and breaks down how A’ja Wilson’s three-point shooting has leveled up.
