Could be the understatement of this century.
This eighth grader is going to be good.

Goodness! She was so good even as an 8th grader, and her style has not changed much.

Aluminny69, you had a good eye for horseflesh back in 2011. I guess you can say you knew greatness when you saw it. Do you have any more tips for the next few years? We may need them!

It didn't take a genius, that's for sure.

It’s Nia Hollie. She was Minnesota’s Miss Basketball winner in 2016. Played at Michigan State and is now coaching high school ball back in her home state.

Thank you for posting this video. It’s pretty amazing how she looks the same playing as she did then.

Two quotes from the commentator: " A pretty good offensive game for
an 8th grader"... "She makes it look easy". A she still does!!!
spoiler alert: Hopkins 70 - 54. Let's have a repeat TONIGHT!!

I don't think I started watching her until ninth grade but by that time if you couldn't tell that she was touched by the basketball gods you'd have had to be blind...........by tenth grade she was ready for college ball........
here's my post from July of 2017
"It would be a sin for her to play for anybody other then Geno.............it doesn't take a genius to see that Bueckers is a perfect fit to run in the UConn system...........she has future All American written all over her............."

Geno said that both Paige and Azzi could give us 15 good minutes as 10th graders.

I didn't see Paige quite this early... Watched the Minnesota state HS title game her soph year online, couldn't believe what I was looking at. They lost that year, but she stuck out like a sore thumb.

I guess you can say that this kid has a good future. I've noticed that Paiges 3 point shot has more elevation to it the last couple of years. Maybe the Nika influence has helped her perfect her shooting form. LOL. She is now showing (finally) how good she can be, and I'm very sure that the Dallas Wings management and fans are very excited in what they are seeing.
