Paige Bueckers’ WNBA Salary Catches Attention After Draft

Here’s a look at a couple of fan reactions.

“Two things. She made more in college and will make enough for the W in endorsement deals. This was also apart of the leagues inaugural launch so it’s essentially a 2 year 350k but she only played 1”
-@rushy_grant19

“🙌only right!! 👏 We need those numbers to keep going UP!!”
-@louville12

“Thats ridiculous. The off-season tournament shouldn’t pay close to the same as the league. Do better WNBA.”
-@wntrsldr_6

“Well this seems like an issue WNBA needs to figure out”
-@la_pd

“Hoping @unrivaledbasketball continues to grow”
-@caseyrhamm

“Embarrassing to the W that you can have this happen in a product which is essentially a social media engagement platform, focusing on the pre game outfits, with 3v3 watched by 800 fans. There is no way you can justify the 💩 salaries being paid , when you have 20,000 fans in a stadium watching teams , who are investing millions in practice facilities etc. CBA about to be rufffff…….”
-@hoopgroupbball

“There needs to be a 30 for 30 on how poorly managed and operated the WNBA is.”
-@jeremycash02

The top WNBA contract belongs to Arike Ogunbowale, who is signed to a three-year deal worth $725,952.
