Strong won the NCAA title in his first year in Uconn last season, and while he was one of the most important players on the team, Bueckers was the leader.

In an interview on CNBC television on May 14, Strong spoke of his relationship with the old Huskies star.

“We have a very good relationship. I mean, I look towards her. He is a really great leader,” said Strong (9:26). “It's like the way it takes so good confidence in court, on the court. So just learning that trust is really important.”

With Bueckers now in the WNBA, Strong has been considered the next face of university women's basketball after his performance last season.
