The WNBA Draft is set to electrify New York tonight, and all eyes are on the next generation of basketball stars. Headlining the event, UConn's sharpshooting guard Azzi Fudd was selected first overall by the Dallas Wings, a fitting crown for a phenomenal collegiate career. The 5-foot-11 star, who helped lead the Huskies to the 2025 national championship, dominated this season by leading the nation with 117 three-pointers while averaging 17.3 points per game.
