Overview
- Azzi Fudd, widely projected as the top prospect, answered "maybe" when asked about landing with the Dallas Wings and reuniting with Paige Bueckers during UConn’s media availability in Fort Worth.
- Diana Taurasi told NBC Sports she expects Dallas to draft Fudd first, pointing to the strong on-court fit she showed with Bueckers at UConn.
- Fudd is having a career year for top-seeded UConn with 17.8 points per game and 45.4% shooting from three, and the Huskies face North Carolina in the Sweet 16 in Fort Worth.
- Paige Bueckers was the No. 1 pick in 2025 and the WNBA Rookie of the Year, and she and Fudd helped UConn win last season’s national title.
- The selection remains a projection, with Newsweek also mentioning center Awa Fam as a possible choice after Dallas went 10-34 and earned a second straight top pick.
