"There's an aggression level. Her trying to score, her getting to the basket, her rebounding, her defense — everything she does contributes to winning.
"How hard she plays, the energy that she plays with and when Aubrey's aggressive, she's a really key weapon for this team. So, it was a great step in the right direction today," Bueckers said via YouTube video.
