UConn’s Azzi Fudd Goes Number One Overall in 2026 WNBA Draft
She has the high potential to be an All-Star in her rookie season. She is also a real threat on both ends of the court. Therefore, making her a top prospect that Dallas just could not let slide to another team. UConn’s Azzi Fudd goes number one overall in 2026 WNBA Draft.
For the second consecutive year, the Dallas Wings have drafted a UConn star guard as the No. 1 overall selection. Fudd fits perfectly with the system that the Wings already have in place. Plus, she helps fill in another need or two of the franchise. For instance, Azzi adds another three-point threat on the court for the organization. During her final season with the Huskies, Azzi Fudd shot 45% (a career high) from beyond the arc.
Additionally, Azzi was point machine picking up right where she left off after becoming a 2024 NCAA champion. She was the Huskies’ second-leading scorer in her final season, averaging 17.3 points per game. If she maintains a 40% shooting touch from long range, Fudd will be the Wings’ best outside shooter and make an ideal complement to Bueckers in the team’s backcourt.
Speaking of Paige… Fudd is now reuniting with her old UConn teammate, Paige Bueckers. Who is affectionately known as “Paige Buckets” due to her shooting accuracy and consistency. This past season, Azzi hit 117 threes for UConn helping the university go undefeated all season. Now, the Wings will have both of these amazing athletes on their roster for the upcoming 2026 season. That’s a lot of buckets in this team’s future.

In four full seasons at UConn, Fudd averaged 14.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game. All while shooting 42% on 3-pointers. Azzi played only two games during the 2023-24 season after suffering a torn right ACL in practice.
Nevertheless, Fudd is continuing a nice legacy of UConn women’s basketball. The Huskies have quite the history when it comes to first round picks in women’s basketball. Azzi is the 7th member of the UConn Huskies to be selected number one overall. However now, college will drift into the past, and a new chapter begins with the Dallas Wings. Congratulations to Azzi Fudd and all of this year’s amazing draftees!
