What happened: CBS Sports published an analysis examining Azzi Fudd's role with the Dallas Wings as the rookie guard settles into the lineup. The breakdown looks at how the former No. 1 overall pick is being deployed within Dallas' rotation through the early stretch of the 2026 season.
Why it matters: Fudd's usage matters for a Dallas team carrying playoff aspirations and trying to build around its young backcourt. How quickly the rookie's role grows could shape the Wings' ceiling as the regular season progresses.
By the numbers: Dallas enters the day 11-6 on the season, scoring 88.8 points per game while allowing 82.6. The Wings have gone 1-1 in their last two and most recently posted a 96-66 home win over the Las Vegas Aces on June 15.
What to watch: Dallas is scheduled to host the Chicago Sky next, with Fudd's role again in focus as the Wings look to keep pace in the standings.
