Overview
- Paige Bueckers, the Dallas Wings guard and former UConn teammate of Azzi Fudd, said it would be 'exciting' if Fudd joined her in the WNBA.
- Dallas holds the No. 1 selection in the April 13 draft, and multiple mock drafts project Fudd first overall while others place her as high as No. 3.
- Draft analysis argues Fudd's deep shooting and quick release could open the floor for Dallas and create a strong backcourt pairing with Bueckers.
- Fudd lifted her profile with clutch NCAA tournament performances that earned her Most Outstanding Player and an AP first-team All-American honor.
- The top of the board remains fluid with Spanish center Awa Fam, TCU guard Olivia Miles, and UCLA center Lauren Betts also projected near the top.
