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. Betting markets may adjust Wings futures odds upward for playoffs and title.
What to watch
Monitor Fudd's integration into training camp and early-season chemistry with Bueckers.
