Overview
- Dallas holds the top pick and has not named a choice, with projections split among Azzi Fudd, Awa Fam, Olivia Miles, and Lauren Betts.
- High-profile voices backed Fudd, including Carmelo Anthony and ESPN analysts who highlighted her elite shooting.
- Fudd averaged 17.3 points with 48% shooting, 45% from three and 96% at the line, and she earned All-American and Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors.
- Teams are weighing her knee history, which includes a torn ACL and MCL in high school, another ACL tear in 2023–24, and long college absences.
- Picking Fudd would reunite her with Bueckers in coach Jose Fernandez's motion, three-point attack, a fit that could unlock more spacing and off-ball looks.
