The Dallas Wings are heading into the 2025 WNBA season with renewed hope after securing the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. With Arike Ogunbowale still leading the charge, the Wings have a strong foundation. However, one player who could take a major leap next season is forward Maddy Siegrist.
Why Maddy Siegrist Is Primed for a Breakout Season
Siegrist showcased flashes of her scoring ability in 2024, despite battling injuries that limited her to 27 games. In her second WNBA season, she averaged 9.4 points per game in 23.9 minutes of action while starting 13 contests. Though her three-point shooting (27%) left room for improvement, her college track record suggests she has the ability to be much more efficient from deep.
As Sue Bird highlighted, Siegrist was a dominant scorer at Villanova, holding the Big East’s all-time scoring record and leading the NCAA in scoring in 2023. That pedigree suggests her offensive game can translate further at the WNBA level.
Key Areas for Growth
1. Three-Point Shooting Consistency – If Siegrist can shoot closer to her 34.7% college average, she could see a significant jump in scoring output.
2. Increased Role – With another year of experience and potentially more playing time, she’ll have a chance to establish herself as a key offensive weapon.
3. Health and Durability – Staying on the court will be crucial. If she can avoid injuries, her production should naturally rise.
2025 Expectations
With a more polished three-point shot and a larger role in the Wings’ system, Siegrist has the potential to be a 14-15 point-per-game scorer in 2025. Her ability to complement Ogunbowale’s scoring could be a game-changer for Dallas. If all goes well, Siegrist could cement herself as one of the league’s top young forwards and play a pivotal role in the Wings’ playoff push.
