Paige Bueckers is drawing attention from the WNBA media environment as she has joined Cailtin Clark’s path appearing in Whistle Sports’ new golf-focused show “The Link,” where she will be part of a lineup that includes Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Devin Booker, and other prominent athletes.

Her situation also aligns with a broader pattern inside athletes: using offseason windows to participate in lifestyle-driven content to reach audiences outside their own field, in her case, basketball.
