What happened: The Dallas Wings selected UConn guard Azzi Fudd with the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft. This follows their selection of teammate Paige Bueckers at No. 1 last year, marking the first time a WNBA team has taken back-to-back top picks from the same school. Fudd, known for her elite shooting, joins Bueckers to form a potent backcourt duo.

Why it matters: The pairing could accelerate the Wings' contention in the loaded Western Conference, challenging teams like the Lynx and Liberty. It highlights UConn's dominance in producing pro talent.

What to watch: Monitor Fudd's integration into training camp and early-season chemistry with Bueckers.
