Pa(i)ge 1 Was Just the Preface - LITE

September 17, 2025 | LITE Edition: #63

👋 Hey, Hoophead!
Home court magic worked wonders for both Seattle and Indiana!

Just like their fans (and honestly, all of us) wanted: two first-round series are now heading to a do-or-die Game 3. Both squads bought themselves 40 more minutes, and in the process, we got treated to some absolutely amazing basketball. Sure, the roaring crowds set the stage, but it was the stars who flat-out refused to let up that kept us hooked.

And oh, before the Storm and Fever even tipped off, the league dropped its most predictable yet biggest season-end honor. Yes, Paige Bueckers is officially your 2025 Rookie of the Year!






Now that both Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark's rookie years are behind us...imagine if they were in the same draft class. Last year, Clark came in dropping records like she wasn’t a rookie, finishing the season with the most assists ever in league history. Oh, and she also made the All-WNBA First Team. Similarly, Paige also didn’t play like a rookie, finishing Top-10 in points, assists, and steals, and who can forget that crazy 44-point performance?

Don’t forget, back when they entered college together in 2020, it was Paige who wore the crown as the No. 1 recruit. So,

What If Both Clark & Paige Were in the Same Draft Class, Who’s Taking Home ROTY?
