Paige Bueckers has done her best to live in the present during a short period in which she went from winning a national championship with UConn earlier this month to being the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft and now donning a Stetson cowboy hat on a podium in Dallas City Hall.

On Wednesday, Bueckers' introductory press conference footage surfaced during which the six-foot tall guard had the gathered media in stitches with a humorous attempt to deflect her status as the next big thing in Big D. Bueckers was told that she is "probably the hottest thing in Dallas right now" to which she offered a response.

No. 1 WNBA draft pick Paige Bueckers was officially introduced by the Dallas Wings on Wednesday. Bueckers, along with fellow Wings rookies, Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly and Baylor alum Aaronette Vonleh made their first appearance in Dallas with Mayor Eric Johnson and City Manager Kimberly Tolbert.
