Azzi Fudd continues to build case for Wings' top pick

The Dallas Wings are reportedly interested in UConn guard Azzi Fudd, who is considered a potential candidate for the number one overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Joining the Wings would reunite her with her former UConn teammate, Paige Bueckers.

Fudd is using her final collegiate season at UConn to showcase her skills and strengthen her case to be the top draft pick. While teammate Sarah Strong is the Huskies' leading scorer, Fudd serves as a strong secondary option for the undefeated team. Her current scoring average of 17.3 points per game is a career high, and she is shooting an impressive 45.5% from three-point range.

The competition for the first overall pick is not clear-cut this year. Fudd is in direct contention with UCLA center Lauren Betts and Spanish forward Awa Fam. Her exceptional three-point shooting is highlighted as a key factor that could ultimately lead the Dallas Wings to select her over the other top prospects.
