“The official team account retweeting this has me in tears,” another fan said.

“Someone shut off her wifi quick,” one fan said.

The team has quality on the roster as star guard Arike Ogunbowale is coming off a stellar season, averaging 22.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists. It’ll be interesting to see how she fits in with Paige Bueckers.

The Dallas Wings have assembled a promising roster following the 2025 WNBA Draft

Following the 2025 WNBA Draft, the Dallas Wings' roster looks impressive. They have Arike Ogunbowale, who has made multiple all-star appearances and is an offensive force. DiJonai Carrington will also be key for the team and was named the league's Most Improved Player in 2024.

NaLyssa Smith is also coming off a solid season, recording 10.6 points and 7.1 rebounds. Her presence in the paint will prove to be valuable for Dallas. At 6-foot-7, Teaira McCowan will also be a menacing presence in the paint for the Wings. Others like Tyasha Harris and Maddy Siegrist also look like promising additions.

Aziaha James can also end up surprising many. She made 35 appearances for the NC State Wolfpack this season, recording 17.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Lastly, there's Paige Bueckers, who will be leading the Dallas Wings' rebrand. Ensuring that Bueckers' transition goes smoothly will be key for the Wings.

If everything clicks, this team could surprise a lot of people when the 2025 WNBA season kicks off in May.
