WNBA GMs want Paige Bueckers as player to build around over Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson
The 2026 WNBA GM Survey results are out, and the results are surprising.
On May 5, the league released the results from its annual survey with front office leadership. The WNBA's 15 general managers answered 42 different questions on everything from the best teams to players to offseason moves and more. General managers were not allowed to vote for their own team or personnel.
Some items, like the Las Vegas Aces being named the favorite to repeat as champions, or current MVP A'ja Wilson being picked to win the award again, fell well within the line of such a survey. Still, there was one noteworthy item.
When asked who they would build a team around, the WNBA GMs collectively voted for 2025 Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers as their top choice (33% of votes). Wilson and two-time All-Star and 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark both came in second place, tying at 20%. In 2025, Clark received 50% of the vote.
Here are the remaining results of the WNBA GM survey:
2026: Azzi Fudd, Dallas Wings (Connecticut)
2025: Paige Bueckers, Dallas Wings (Connecticut)
WNBA GMs believe Paige Bueckers has the potential to be a cornerstone player for a franchise, surpassing Caitlin Clark in their evaluations.
The survey revealed that the Las Vegas Aces are favored to repeat as champions and highlighted Paige Bueckers as the top player to build around.
A'ja Wilson was selected as the current MVP in the WNBA GM Survey, indicating her strong performance in the league.
The 2026 WNBA GM Survey included 42 different questions covering various aspects of the league.
